Parallel line means the same slope
（8-1）/(-17-a)=(1-5)/(a+2)
so a is 18
So what they are telling you is that 5 is three higher than the variable n.
So n = 5-3
so n is 2.
Answer:
28 eggs
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes a hen and a half to lay an egg and a half in a day and a half - this means it takes 1 hen to lay 1 egg in a day and a half. Therefore, 1 hen will lay 4 eggs in 6 days, and 7 hens will lay 28 eggs in 6 days.
When finding the mean you should first add up all the numbers which are 12,2,8,6 and 57 which will give you a sum of 85 next you should divide your sum by how many numbers there are which is 5 and your answer should be 17
So, here we have an exponential function.
Remember that an exponential function has the form:
Where a represents an initial amount, and r is the rate of this amount to change. (Increase, or decrease).
So, given that the population of City A in 2000 was 40 thousand people and the population increased by 13% each year, we can say that
So,
For city B:
But something different happens with city C. This is not an exponential function, this is a linear function.
So,
