What is the slope m in the equation y = -2x + 5

m = -2

General Formulas and Concepts:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define function

y = -2x + 5

Step 2: Break function

Slope m = -2

y-intercept (0, 5)

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.
