Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The common difference (d) can be found using the first and 4th terms:
a1 = 3
a4 = a1 +d(4 -1)
-9 = 3 +3d . . . . . simplify
-3 = 1 + d . . . . . . divide by 3
-4 = d . . . . . . . . . subtract 1
Then ...
x = a1 + d = 3 -4 = -1
y = x + d = -1 -4 = -5
The values of x and y are -1 and -5, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
The choices are not given but the graph looks like the above picture.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of an equation of a line:
<em>(x₁, y₁)</em><em> - point on a line</em>
<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>
<em />
We have
Substitute:
Convert to the standard form
<em> use the distributive property</em>
<em>add 5 to both sides</em>
<em>add 4x to both sides</em>
You need Pythagorean theorem for this.
a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotheneus and a and b are the sides of the right triangle.
24² + x² = 26²
x² = 676-576
x = ±√100
x = 10 (-10 is rejected because length of triangle cannot be a negative number)
