Answer: negative.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the slope of the line
Therefore, the slope for the given data
Hence, the word which describes the slope of the line representing the data in the table = negative.

First term = a = 2
Problem
Find the nth term
tn = (-1 )^(n -1) * (a)^n answer or
tn = (-1)^(n - 1) * 2^n
where a is defined as the first term (it usually is given that designation).
Try a few to make sure the formula is correct
<em>n = 1</em>
t1 = (-1)^(1 - 1) * 2^1
t1 = (-1)^0 * 2
t1 = 1 * 2 = 2
<em>n =2</em>
t2 = (-1)^(2 - 1) * 2^2 = (-1)^1 * 4 = -4
You would divide negative 3 (-3) from both sides to keep the c by itself. When you divide a positive by a negative it becomes negative.
Dividing 15 by -3 would equal -5, so c = -5
