20/28 are female. Since there are 8 male students you just have to subtract 28-8 and you'll get the female total.
<u><em>Answer: </em></u>
#9: 5
#10: -2
#11: -1.5
<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>
<em><u>#9:</u></em> 3,8,13,18,23,(28),(33),(38),.. <em>Go up by 5 each time, so the common difference is </em><u><em>5</em></u><em>.</em>
<u><em>#10:</em></u> 11,9,7,5,3,(1),(-1),(-3),... <em>Go down </em><em>(-)</em><em> by 2 each time, so the common difference is </em><u><em>-2</em></u><em>.</em>
<u><em>#11:</em></u> 3, 1.5, 0, -1.5, -3, (-4.5), (-6), (-7.5),... <em>Go down </em><em>(-) </em><em>by 1.5 each time, so the common difference is </em><u><em>-1.5</em></u><em>.</em>
So, a line parallel to <span>y - 5x = 10, will have the same slope as that equation, so what is that slope anyway? let's solve for "y".

alrite, so the slope is 5 then, well, then the parallel line will have the same slope.
so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 5 and runs through 3,10.
