Answer:
The required recursive formula is:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a geometric sequence as:
6,-18,54,-162,.....
Clearly after looking at different terms of the sequence we could observe that the sequence is an geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio= -3 denoted by r.
Let represents the nth term of the sequence.
This means that:
As the common ratio is -3.
so,
Hence, the required recursive formula for the geometric sequence is:
So perpendicular lines have <u>slopes that are negative reciprocals</u> to each other, but firstly we need to find the slope of the original equation. The easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form into slope-intercept.
Firstly, subtract 3x on both sides of the equation:
Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form of the original equation is
Now looking at this equation, we see that the slope is 3/4. Now since our new line is perpendicular, this means that <em>its slope is -4/3.</em>
Now that we have the slope, plug that into the m variable and plug in (-4,-5) into the x and y coordinates to solve for the b variable as such:
<u>In short, your new equation is y = -4/3x - 10 1/3.</u>
