How to solve and figure it out

Mathematics

Vilka [71]4 years ago

So your equation is currently in point-slope form; however, to figure out the slope and y-intercept, you'd be better off in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

while in point-slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), you can definitely see the slope as -5, you can't see the y-intercept as easily. x-intercepts are actually the solutions/zeros of a function, and it was included in the answer choices to confuse you.

you're correct about -5 being a decreasing slope. but to figure out the y-intercept, you need to convert to slope-intercept form.

y - 4 = -5(x + 1)  ... distribute the -5
y - 4 = -5x - 5  ... add 4
y = -5x - 1

and in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you can see that you have a decreasing slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -1. your correct answer is A. choices C and D were thrown in to distract you and make you think that the -5(x + 1) was somehow related to discovering the x-intercept.

A regular polygon has an interior angle of approximately 158.8°.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

  • 17 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Property of regular polygons:</u>

  • Sum of Interior Angles = (n−2) × 180°, where n is number of sides

<u>In our case we have:</u>

  • 158.8×n = (n - 2)×180
  • 180n - 158.8n = 360
  • 21.2n = 360
  • n = 360/21.2
  • n = 17

How to find volume of a prism
docker41 [41]

Answer:

- HOW TO FIND VOLUME OF PRISM -

1st step - Write the formula for finding the volume of a regular pentagonal prism. The formula is V = [1/2 x 5 x side x apothem] x height of the prism.

2nd step - Find the area of the pentagonal base face. Let's say the length of a side is 6 cm and the length of the apothem is 7 cm.

3rd step - Find the height. Let's say the height of the shape is 10 cm.

4th step - Multiply the area of the pentagonal base face times the height. ...

and last step - State your answer in cubic units.
