First term: -9
Common difference: 7
a(n) = -9 + 7(n-1), for n = {1, 2, 3, ... }
Check: what is the first term? let n=1. Then a(1) = -9 + 7(1-1) = -9.
This is correct.
We can solve this by using the formula:
(x, y) (x + a, y + b) = (5,-4) (-2,1)
So, plugging in the values and solving for a and b,
5 + a = -2
a = -8
-4 + b = 1
b = 5
Therefore, the translation is
(x,y) (x - 8, y +5)
Since there are 63 passengers and it is $26 for each passenger,you have to do 63 x $26. 63 x $26 = $1638,so $1638 was collected from the passengers.
