Answer:

$S_{7}$ = - 119973

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}$

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = - 3 and r = 18 ÷ - 3 = - 6 , thus

$S_{7}$ = $\frac{-3(-279936-1)}{-6-1}$

= $\frac{-3(-279937)}{-7}$

= $\frac{839811}{-7}$

= - 119973

cora says she doesn't need to know the y-intercept of a line to write its equation, just its slope and some other point on the l

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The equation of line with given slope that include given points is 3 y + x - 20 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Cora , if we know the slope and points on a line then we can write the equation of a line .

Since , The equation of line in slope-intercept form is

y = m x + c

<u>Where m is the slope of line , and if we know the points ( x , y ) which satisfy the line then constant term c can be get and the equation of line can be formed .</u>

So , From the statement said above it is clear that she is correct .

Now , Again

Given as :

Slope of a line is m = - $\frac{1}{3}$

That include points ( 2 , 6 )

Now from the equation of line as y = m x + c

∴ 6 = - $\frac{1}{3}$ ( 2 ) + c

Or, 6 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ + c

So , c = 6 + $\frac{2}{3}$

or, c = $\frac{18 + 2}{3}$

∴ c = $\frac{20}{3}$

So, The equation of line can be written as

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x + $\frac{20}{3}$

Or, 3 y = - x + 20

I.e 3 y + x - 20 = 0

Hence The equation of line with given slope that include given points is 3 y + x - 20 = 0 Answer
