I need help with #66 and #68

Step-by-step explanation:

66. Δy = -3.4 Δx

Δy/Δx = -3.4

The slope of the line is -3.4. Slope-intercept equation of the line is:

y = -3.4x + b

Plug in the given point to find b:

2 = -3.4(4) + b

b = 15.6

Therefore, the equation is y = -3.4x + 15.6.

Use the equation to find the y coordinates.

68. Repeat the same steps as 66.

Δy = -1.7 Δx

Δy/Δx = -1.7

The slope of the line is -1.7. Slope-intercept equation of the line is:

y = -1.7x + b

Plug in the given point to find b:

3 = -1.7(-7) + b

b = -8.9

Therefore, the equation is y = -1.7x − 8.9.

Use the equation to find the x or y coordinates.

y=mx+

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
