I used example numbers. If you need any clarification, let me know.
The sequence seems to be that you add 1 and then multiply by 2, and then add 1 and multiply by 3, so I would assume you do 9 + 1 = 10, and then multiply by 4 to get 40 as your next number. I hope this helps!
Plane CBD because it contains both points
the table :
(-3,8.5) .....x1 = -3 and y1 = 8.5
(-1,5.5) ....x2 = -1 and y2 = 5.5
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (5.5 - 8.5) / (-1 - (-3) = - 3 / (-1 + 3) = -3/2
coordinate plane :
(-3,0), (2,0)
notice how u have the same y values of 0....this means u have a horizontal line where no matter what x is, y will always be 0. A horizontal line has a slope of 0. And ur y intercept is (0,0)
the linear function that is in the table contains a negative slope and also has a steeper slope then the one on the coordinate plane <===
