Hat is the slope of the line that has an x-intercepte of 3 and a y-intercept of -6

Your answer would be 1/-2, or -.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is only two numbers you use them to solve the equation together.

You alreadey know that ou the x-intercepte to be 3 and the y-intercept to be -6.

So you bring them together as one in a fraction, 3/-6, 3 being an x-intercepte will be on top and the y-intecept will be on bottom.

Now you just solve.

If you put it in a calculator it will come out as, -.5, but if you wanted to keep it in a fraction form it will need to be in half, 1/-2.

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

answer: both chords and diameters have two endpoints on a circle. diameters must intersect the center of a circle.
