Answer:

the 73rd term of the arithmetic sequence is -964.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference in this arithmetic sequence is 13. This is obtained by subtracting 28 from 41. The first term is a(1) = -28.

The arithmetic sequence formula is a(n) = a(1) + d(n - 1), where d is the common difference and -28 the first term.

Then, in this case, a(n) = -28 - 13(n - 1), and

a(73) = -28 - 13(73 - 1) = -964

Coordinates (x, y)
Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (5, 5)

Point (5, -8)

Step 2: Identify

(5, 5) → x₁ = 5, y₁ = 5

(5, -8) → x₂ = 5, y₂ = -8

Step 3: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{-8-5}{5-5}$
[Slope] Subtract: $\displaystyle m=\frac{-13}{0}$

Here we see that we have a number divided by 0. Since we know that we cannot divide any number by 0, our slope will be undefined. This will be a vertical line on a Cartesian plane of x = 5.
