answer: y = -1/2x + 1

work:

let's use slope intercept form, or y = mx + b to represent the equation. <em>(m = slope, b = y-intercept)</em>

first, let's find the slope, or m. to do this, subtract the y values over the x values.

4 - 2 / - 6 - - 2  <em>(next: subtract the values)</em>

2 / - 4 <em>(next: simplify)</em>

1 / -2 <em>(next: write as a fraction)</em>

-1/2

so, the slope is -1/2. let's place this into the equation.

y = -1/2x + b.

okay, so to find b, or the y intercept, plug a value for x and y into the equation and solve.

4 = -1/2(-6) + b  <em>(next: multiply)</em>

4 = 3 + b <em>(next: subtract 3 from both sides)</em>

1 = b

so, let's place that into our equation:

y = -1/2x + 1 , this is your complete equation.

<em>hope this helps and have a great day!</em>

I forgot how to find the y intercept but the slope is -2/4

Check the picture below.

so, bearing in mind that, the radius and height are two sides in a right-triangle, thus both are at a ratio of each other, thus the radius is at 3:4 ratio in relation to the height.

\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\&#10;V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;r=3\\&#10;h=4&#10;\end{cases}\implies \stackrel{full}{V}=\cfrac{\pi \cdot 3^2\cdot 4}{3}\implies \stackrel{full}{V}=12\pi &#10;\\\\\\&#10;\stackrel{\frac{2}{3}~full}{V}=12\pi \cdot \cfrac{2}{3}\implies \stackrel{\frac{2}{3}~full}{V}=8\pi ~in^3&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{is draining water at a rate of }12~\frac{in^3}{min}\qquad \cfrac{8\pi ~in^3}{12~\frac{in^3}{min}}\implies \cfrac{2\pi }{3}~min

\bf \textit{it takes }\frac{2\pi }{3}\textit{ minutes to drain }\frac{2}{3}\textit{ of it, leaving only }\frac{1}{3}\textit{ in it}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\stackrel{\frac{1}{3}~full}{V}=12\pi \cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \stackrel{\frac{1}{3}~full}{V}=4\pi\impliedby \textit{what's \underline{h} at this time?}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;r=\frac{3h}{4}\\&#10;V=4\pi &#10;\end{cases} \implies 4\pi =\cfrac{\pi \left( \frac{3h}{4} \right)^2 h}{3}

\bf 12\pi =\cfrac{\pi \cdot 3^2h^2 h}{4^2}\implies 12\pi =\cfrac{9\pi h^3}{16}\implies \cfrac{192\pi }{9\pi }=h^3&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\sqrt[3]{\cfrac{192\pi }{9\pi }}=h\implies \sqrt[3]{\cfrac{64}{3}}=h\implies \cfrac{4}{\sqrt[3]{3}}=h&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{4}{\sqrt[3]{3}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt[3]{3^2}}{\sqrt[3]{3^2}}=h\implies \cfrac{4\sqrt[3]{9}}{\sqrt[3]{3^3}}=h\implies \cfrac{4\sqrt[3]{9}}{3}=h

MaRussiya [10]

Answer: $100.70

Step-by-step explanation: 6% is equal to 0.06, so you can add multiply the price of the item by 1.06 because that is the base cost plus the tax. Then you get $100.70.
