Answer: $-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y -3 = -\frac{1}{2}(x-2)$

Write as slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

$y-3=-\frac{1}{2}x + 1$

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x+4$

Therefore, the slope is $-\frac{1}{2}$ .

Pyramid A is a right square pyramid with a height of 100 m and a square base with a perimeter of 356 m. Pyramid B has a square b

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The volume of pyramid B is 3.5 times greater than the volume of pyramid A

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of squared based a pyramid is given by:

$Area = \frac{1}{3}*s*s*h$

Where 's' the length of the side of the base and 'h' is the height.

For pyramid A:

h= 100 m

s= 356/4 = 89 m

$Area_A = \frac{1}{3}*89*89*100\\Area_A=264,033.33\ m^3$

For pyramid B:

h= 215 m

s= 456/4 = 114 m

$Area_B = \frac{1}{3}*114*114*215\\Area_B=931,380\ m^3$

Pyramid B has a greater volume and the ratio between volumes is:

$\frac{Area_B}{Area_A} =\frac{931,380}{264,033.33}\\\frac{Area_B}{Area_A} =3.5$
