Answer:

a. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Sₙ = n/2 * (2 * a₁ + (n-1) * d)

Sₙ = 500 a₁ = -4 d = 2

500 = n/2 * (-8 + (n-1) * 2) = n/2 * (-8 + 2n - 2) = n/2 * (2n - 10) = n² -5n

n² - 5n -500 = 0

(n - 25) (n + 20) = 0

n > 0

n = 25

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 3 : (x, y - 5)

K' = (-3, 2 - 5) = (-3, -3)
L' = (1, 4 - 5) = (1, -1)
M' = (-1, 0 - 5) = (-1, -5)
N' = (-5, -2 - 5) = (-5, -7)

Question 4 : (x + 4, y + 1)

D' = (-4 + 4, 3 + 1) = (0, 4)
E' = (0 + 4, 2 + 1) = (4, 3)
F' = (-2 + 4, -6 + 1) = (2, -5)
G' = (-6 + 4, -5 + 1) = (-2, -4)

Which equation has a slope

Dominik [7]

All the choices are in the slope-intercept form where,

y=mx+b

so, the number before the x is the slope. The given slope is -34. We just have to look for the -34 number before the x. So mong the choices, it is the letter a choice that has the slope -34. So the answer is A.

Answer:

x = 52.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle on the left has 2 congruent sides, thus is isosceles

The base angles of an isosceles triangle are also congruent, thus

x = $\frac{180-75}{2}$ = $\frac{105}{2}$ = 52.5
