Answer:

y = -1/6 x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write an equation of a line you need slope (m) and y-intercept (b) or where the graph grosses the y- axis. since you are given two points (6, 10) and (4, -2). Slope when given two points is (y - y) / (x - x)

                                                                  so (-2 - 10) / (6 - 4) = 6 / - 1 =- 6

use the equation y = mx + b and substitute either point (6, 10) or (4, -2) as a replacement for x and y respectively. (I chose (6, 10) because they are positive numbers. Substituting x = 6 and y = 10 and m = -6  into y = mx + b

10 = -6(6) + b

10 = -36 + b

b = 46 (add -36 to both sides)

so our equation: y = -6x + 46 :-)

Answer:

y = 6x - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find slope: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

(-2 - 10) / (4 - 6) = -12 / -2 = 6

basic equation: y = 6x + b

2. plug in (x,y) value using one set of coordinates.

10 = 6(6) + b

10 = 36 + b

b = 10 - 36

b = -26

3. plug b in to find full equation.

y = 6x -26

What is the answer (6-1+7) =
sdas [7]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

You do what's in parentheses first, but everything is in parentheses so it's pretty much ineffective. In PEMDAS, addition and subtraction are coupled so you do them left to right. 6-1 is 5 and 5+7 is 12.

Find the density of a 40 gram pyramid with rectangular base 5 x 6 cm and height 8 cm.
e-lub [12.9K]
Density is <u>mass</u>
                volume
With those dimensions, the volume of the pyramid is;
V = lw(h/3)
V = (5)(6)(8/3)
V = 80 cm^3

D = <u>   40 g    </u> = 1 g/cm^3
       80 cm^3
