Answer:
- geometric sequence with initial value 20 and common ratio 1/2
- average rate of change on [1, 3] = -7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The given points have sequential values of x and values of y that are each 1/2 the value before. The common ratio tells us the sequence is a geometric sequence.
(b) The first given point is (2, 10), so extrapolating backward, we determine the previous point to be ...
... (2-1, 10/(1/2)) = (1, 20)
Thus, we have enough information to determine the average slope between n=1 and n=3.
... (difference in y)/(difference in n) = (5 -20)/(3 -1) = -15/2 = -7.5
The answer is 7, because you multiply it by 6.
Answer:
p=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
5p=-35
Divide both sides by 5
5p/5 =-35/5
therefore p=-7
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
• A line sloping upwards from left to right has a positive slope
• A line sloping downwards from left to right has a negative slope
The line shown here slopes downwards from left to right, hence has a negative slope → B
Use y=mx + b, which is slope intercept form
b = y intercept(when x=0)
m = slope
You need to find the y intercept. Use your coordinates and substitute it in the slope intercept equation.
we use (6, -8)
y = mx + b
Then, -8 = -3/2(6) + b
-8 = -9 + b
1 = b
Thus,
y = -3/2x + 1
