<span>Tripling both dimensions would NOT triple the surface area. If you triple both dimensions, then the surface area is 9 times as long as the surface area of original cone.</span>
6y > 8 - 5
6y > 3
y > 3/6
y > 1/2
To solve for the slope given two lines, use the formula:
(y₂ - y₁)
----------
(x₂ - x₁)
Set one of the points as (x₁, y₁), and the other as (x₂, y₂).
(x₁, y₁) = <span>(0,32)
</span>(x₂, y₂) <span>= (100,212)
plug into corresponding places:
</span>(y₂ - y₁) (212 - 32) (180)
---------- = -------------- = -------
(x₂ - x₁) (100 - 0) (100)
180/100 is your slope
If you want simplified, it will be: 9/5
hope this helps
