the second graph

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find a line with a slope of -1/4. To find this, we have to find a line that for every 4 it moves in the positive x-direction, it moves 1 in the negative y-direction.

Looking at the first graph, we can see that for every 1 the line moves in the positive x-direction, it moves 4 in the negative y-direction. This line would have a slope of -4, not -1/4. Thus, it is not the line we need.

Looking at the second graph, we can see that for every 4 the line moves in the positive x-direction, the line moves 1 in the negative y-direction. This line has a slope of -1/4, which is the slope we are looking for. Thus, the second graph is the correct answer.

I hope this helps. Happy studying.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
