Answer:
<em> y = 4.25x</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
After 2 week he has used 8 1/2 cups of dog food after 5 week he has used 21 1/4 cups, we can write this in coordinate form (x, y) where;
y is the amount of dog food
x is the time in weeks
The coordinates are (2, 8 1/2) and (5, 21 1/4)
get the slope m:
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = (21 1/4 - 8 1/2)/5-2
m = (85/4-17/2)/3
m = (85-34/4)/3
m = 51/12
m = 4.25
Get the intercept c:
Substitute any of the points say (2, 17/2) and m = 51/12 into the equation
y = mx+c
17/2 = 51/12(2) + c
17/2 = 51/6 + c
c = 17/2 - 51/6
c = 51-51/6
c = 0
Get the required equation:
substitute m - 4.25 and c = 0 into y = mx+c
y = 4.25x + 0
<em>Hence the required equation is y = 4.25x</em>

Answer: Only the second sequence is arithmetic.
Work:
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which there is a common value added or subtracted between each term in the sequence.
The first option, -2, 4, -6, 8,... is not arithmetic because the terms switch back and forth between positive and negative signs meaning that there is no common value that can be added between each term.
The second option, -8, -6, -4, -2,... is arithmetic because there is a common difference between each term which is +2.
The third option, 2, 4, 8, 16,... is not arithmetic but is, in fact, geometric. There is no common value that is added or subtracted between each term.
Given:
The three vertices of a parallelogram are (-3,8), (4,5), (2,-5).
To find:
The fourth vertex of the parallelogram.
Solution:
Let the vertices of the parallelogram are A(-3,8), B(4,5), C(2,-5) and D(a,b).
We know that, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. It means midpoints of both diagonals are same.
Midpoint formula:

Two diagonals of ABCD are AC and BD.
Midpoint of AC = Midpoint of BD


On comparing both sides, we get




And,




Therefore, the coordinates of fourth vertex are (-5,-2).
