Find the slope-point equation of the line that passes through (-8,-1) with a slope of -3

The point slope form of the line would be y + 1 = -3(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the point-slope form of the line, start with the base form of point-slope form. Then input the point we have and the slope in the appropriate places.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -1 = -3(x -  -8)

y + 4 = -3(x + 8)

, and

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
