Write the equation of the line passing through the point (-4 "-7)" and (8 "-17)"

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

$y = -\dfrac{5}{6} x -\dfrac{31}{3}$

In order to find equation:

<u>Find slope</u>:

$\sf slope: \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} = \dfrac{rise}{run}$

$\rightarrow \sf slope: \dfrac{-17-(-7)}{8-(-4)}$

$\rightarrow \sf slope: -\dfrac{5}{6}$

Then find equation using:

y - y1 = m(x -x1) where (x1, y1) are points, m is slope

$\sf \rightarrow y - (-17) = -\dfrac{5}{6} (x - 8)$

$\sf \rightarrow y = -\dfrac{5}{6} x + \dfrac{20}{3} -17$

$\sf \rightarrow y = -\dfrac{5}{6} x -\dfrac{31}{3}$

65% of the 800 students at North High School ride the

jonny [76]

Answer:

520 out of 800 students ride the bus

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Proportion = 65\%$

$Students = 800$

Required

Determine the number of students $that\ ride\ the\ bus$

To do this, we simply multiply the proportion by the total number of students.

i.e.

$Bus = Proportion * Students$

$Bus = 65\% * 800$

Express the percentage as decimal

$Bus = 0.65* 800$

$Bus = 520$

What is the volume of a regular pyramid having a base area of 24 in.² and a height of 6 inches?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

48 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a pyramid is calculated as

V = $\frac{1}{3}$ × area of base × height

here area of base = 24 and height = 6, so

V = $\frac{1}{3}$ × 24 × 6 = 8 × 6 = 48 in³
