Answer:
The nth term is:
a40 = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic sequence:
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.
The nth term of a sequence is given by:
In which is the first term and d is the common difference.
1/4,1/2
This means that:
1/4
This means that
The nth term is:
Then find a40.
So
a40 = 10
They are not parallel because the slopes are different (slope of 4 and slope of 0.25)
Neither are they perpendicular. If they were then m1*m2 ( the product of their slopes) would be -1 ). The product of these slopes = 4*0.25 = 1)
So choice A is the correct one.
