1.) write the explicit formula for the following sequence
0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36.

2.) Identify Slope;

y = 7 x -9

3.) indentify y-inercept;

y = 3x - 6

4.)
 
Hello, HarleyMadi'son!

Write the explicit formula for the following sequence: .\(\displaystyle 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36\:\hdots\)

Did you notice that they are consecutive multiples of 6?
 
1.) write the explicit formula for the following sequence
0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36.

2.) Identify Slope;

y = 7 x -9

3.) indentify y-inercept;

y = 3x - 6

4.)

1.) As previsouly said, it increases by 6, so formula is y=6x
2.) In an equation writen as y=ax+b, the a is the slope, so in this case 7 is the slope
3.) The y-intercept is when x=0, so plug in 0 where x is to find the answer. Another way to find the y-intercept in a formula writen as y=ax+b: the b will always be your y-intercept since multplying a by zero will turn a (no matter what it is) into 0, leaving you with the b value.
