The answer for the question shown above, is: False.
The explanation is shown below:
You cannot <span> use the surface area formula for a right cone to find the surface area of an oblique cone, because the slant height of oblique cones is on undefined and the vertex is not over the center. </span>

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a right cone is given by finding the area of the base and the lateral area.

The lateral area is the area of a sector of a circle whose radius is the height of the cone.

An oblique cone is always slanted and therefore the radius of the sector in one part would not be the same as the radius of the sector in another part.

Thus, the same formula can not be used to find both the surface area of the right cone and oblique cone.

Hence, we cannot use the the surface area formula for a right cone to find the surface area of an oblique cone .

Find an equation for the line below. Thanks !

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{y=\frac{1}{4}x + \frac{13}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation to this line, we need to note that we see two points on this graph. Using these two points, we can use them to find the slope of the graph and use one to find the y-intercept.

We know that the slope of a line is defined by $\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$ (change in y / change in x). Therefore, we can use our two points that we know - (-5, 2) and (3, 4) to find the slope.

The change in y is $4 - 2 = 2$ , and the change in x is $3 - (-5) = 3+5= 8$ . Therefore, our slope is $\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$ .

Now that we know our slope, our equation in slope-intercept form looks something like this.

$y = \frac{1}{4}x + b$

However, we still have b to solve for. We can solve for this by substituting a point we already know into the equation. Let's substitute (3, 4) inside.

$4 = \frac{1}{4} \cdot 3+b$
$4 = \frac{3}{4} + b$
$b = \frac{16}{4}- \frac{3}{4}$
$b = \frac{13}{4}$

So now we know that the y-intercept is $\frac{13}{4}$ . Plugging that into our equation finishes it off, leaving our final equation to be $y = \frac{1}{4}x + \frac{13}{4}$ .
