Slope as an (improper fraction)-9/7, it can’t be simplified
well, the recursive rule of aₙ = aₙ₊₁ + 7, where a₁ = 15, is simply saying that
we start of at 15, and the next term is obtained by simply adding 7, and so on.
well, that's the recursive rule.
so then let's use that common difference and first term for the explicit rule.

Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:-30
Step-by-step explanation:
Third term=a3
an=a(n-1) x (-9)
a3=5/3 x (3-1) x (-9)
a3=5/3 x 2 x -9
a3=(5x2x-9)/3
a3=-90/3
a3=-30
Make improper fractions.
33/5 - 43/10
Find a common denominator, in this case it is 10.
66/10 - 43/10 = 23/10
This can be simplified to 2 3/10
Hope this helps!
