We represent a sequence with a formula that lets us find any term in the sequence without knowing any other terms, we are representing the sequence explicitly.
Answer:
y= -2/5 x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
So the equation is y=mx+b. Where m=slope and b=y-intercept. To find b, you would see at what point does the line cross the y axis. That would be at -4 so, -4 would be the b or y-intercept. To find m, you would take two points on the line and use this equation:
m=(y2 - y1 )/(x2 - x1)
If you were using the points, (-10,0) and (0, -4) the equation would be:
m=(-4-0) / (0+10)
So, m= -2/5
The equation of the line would end up being:
y= -2/5 x -4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(5,4) ; (-3, -2)
(5,4) & m = (3/4)
y -y1 = m(x-x1)
y - 4 = (3/4)(x - 5)
X^2 - 8x = (x - 4)^2 - 16
we add 16 to give x^2 - 8x + 16 which is a perfect square
x^2 - 8x + 16 = (x - 4)^2
answer is 16
