What's the slope of (4,8) and (2,0)

Suppose the first five terms of a sequence are 4, 5, 9, 27, 123. how could the next term in the sequence be generated?

Alake near the arctic circle is covered by a 222-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. when spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. after 333 weeks, the sheet is only 1.251.251, point, 25 meters thick. let s(t)s(t)s, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis denote the ice sheet's thickness sss (measured in meters) as a function of time ttt (measured in weeks).

Which steps could be part of the process in algebraically solving the system of equations, y+5x=x^2+10 and y=4x-10
