Answer:
175%
Step-by-step explanation:
2018 is the 70th term of the progression.
Explanation
We start out finding the common difference of the progression:
46-17 = 29
Now we write the explicit formula for the sequence. It is of the form

We set this equal to 2018 to see if the answer is a whole number. If it is, it will be the term number that gives us 2018:
2018=17+29(n-1)
Using the distributive property,
2018=17+29*n-29*1
2018=17+29n-29
Combine like terms:
2018=29n-12
Add 12 to both sides:
2018+12=29n-12+12
2030=29n
Divide both sides by 29:
2030/29=29n/29
70=n
Since n=70, this means 2018 is the 70th term of the sequence.
Answer: 1st Choice Starting at the origin go 5 spaces to the right and then 2.5
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x equal the mystery number
Our equation will be:
x - 5 = 1 + 3x
Subtract x from both sides
-5 = 1 + 2x
Subtract 1 from both sides
-6 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
-3 = x
Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2 - x1)
Slope = (9 - 6)/(-3- (-9)) = 3/6 = 1/2
Answer: 1/2
