10. Find a Term
MARCHING BAND During their routine, a high school marching band marches in rows. There is one performer in the first row, three performers in the next row, and five in the third row. This pattern continues for the rest of the rows. Use this information to determine how many performers will be in the 20th row during the routine.
Understand Because the difference between any two consecutive rows is 2, the common difference for the sequence is 2.
Plan Use point-slope form to write an equation for the sequence. Let m = 2 and (x1, y1) = (3, 5). Then solve for x = 20.
Example 3

11. Solve (y – y1) = m(x – x1) Point-slope form
Find a Term
Solve (y – y1) = m(x – x1) Point-slope form
(y – 5) = 2(x – 3) m = 2 and (x1, y1) = (3, 5)
y – 5 = 2x – 6 Multiply.
y = 2x – 1 Add 5 to each side.
y = 2(20) – 1 Replace x with 20.
y = 40 – 1 or 39 Simplify.
