If the line segment is perpendicular to a line with the slope of -4, that means the line segment has a slope of 1/4.

First let's make an equation for the line segment using the slope of 1/4 and the point at (2,6) to find the final piece, the y-intercept

y = mx + b
6 = 1/4(2) + b
6 = 2/4 + b
24/4 = 2/4 + b
22/4 = b

y = 1/4 x + 22/4
6 = 1/4(2) + 22/4
6 = 2/4 + 22/4
6 = 24/4
6 = 6 <-- proves that this equation is correct

Now you may plug in the x to find y. ( 8 , y )
y = 1/4(8) + 22/4
y = 8/4 + 22/4
y = 30/4 = 15/2 = 7.5

Answer:

17. surface area ≈ 441.84

04π m² or  1387.38  m²

18. Ratio of volumes = 8/27

19. volume of the smaller solid = 339 yards³

Step-by-step explanation:

17 .

To find the surface area of the sphere we have to find the radius of the sphere first.

volume of a sphere = 4/3πr³

volume = 1548π m³

r = ?

volume of a sphere = 4/3πr³

1548π = 4/3 × π × r³

multiply both sides by 3/4

1548π × 3/4 = πr³

4644π/4 = πr³

1161π = πr³

divide both sides by π

r³ = 1161

cube root both sides

r = ∛1161

r = 10.5101942

r ≈ 10. 51

surface area of a sphere = 4πr²

surface area = 4 × π × 10.51²

surface area = 4 × 110.4601  × π

surface area = 441.8404π m²  

surface area = 441.8404 × 3.14 = 1387.378856  m² ≈ 1387.38 m²

18

If two figure or solid are similar with scale factor or ratio of x/y then the ratio of their volume is (x/y)³. If the ratio of of two similar prism is 2 : 3 the volume will be (2/3)³ = 8/27 .

19

If two solids are similar then the ratio of their surface area is the squared of the scale factor.

121/361 = (x/y)²

square root both sides

x/y = 11/19

If two solids are similar then the ratio of their volume is the cube of the scale factor.

(11/19)³ = a/1747

1331/6859  = a/1747

cross multiply

6859a = 2325257

divide both sides by 6859

a = 2325257/6859

a = 339.008164455

a ≈ 339 yards³

volume of the smaller solid ≈ 339 yards³

Vince borrows $900 to buy a couch. He will pay off the loan by paying 1.5% simple interest for 2 years. Vince incorrectly calcul
anygoal [31]

Answer: C. 00:00 $927; Vince wrote the wrong number to represent the interest rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount borrowed (p) = 900

Simple interest (r) = 1.5% = 0.015

Time (t) = 2 years

Amount he'll pay back (A) :

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 900(1 + 0.015(2))

A = 900(1 + 0.03)

A = 900(1.03)

A = $927

Answer:

y= 3/2× (-1/2) x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the equation by both sides by 4/3 and nd then you get 0=x then you swap the sides of the equation x=0 nd your answer is x=0
