Three consecutive odd integers, it's pretty self-explanatory..
what odd numbers added together give you -15? look at your answer choices..

lovelyanna · Answer

I said B

shamil98 · Answer

Consecutive means the next number in line.
Consecutive normally would be like 1,2,3,4
Consecutive even would be like 2,4,6,8
Consecutive odd would be like 1,3,5,7.

Yes, b is correct.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line passing through (–1, 10) and (5, 8).  

A.  y = 1/3x + 29/3
B. y = -1/3x - 29/3
C. y = -1/3 + 29/3
D. y = 1/3x - 29/3

I'm not sure about this one, is it A?

jigglypuff314 · Answer

first find slope... it would be negative I think...

lovelyanna · Answer

Oh, so it would be -1/3x, and addition?

jigglypuff314 · Answer

yup
but not always addition, but in this case, yes :)

Let x be the middle number.
Solve the following for x:
(x-2)+x+{x+2}=-15
x=-5
The numbers from low to high are:
{-7,-5,-3}
