Enter the slope of the line through the points (5,2) and (-3,-7)

9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the slope of the line is:

m =

In the given points, let us take 2 as y1 and 5 as x1. Therefore,

m= {2-(-7)}/{5-(-3)}=

9/8

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
