Answer:
a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2
7 = -5*(-2) + c
7 = 10 + c
c = 7-10 = -3
Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.
We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:
2 = -5a -3
5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)
-a = 1 (now by -1)
a = -1
Answer:
(-4, -1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
to calculate the midpoints bt of the line use the ormula:

Where (x1, x2) is one coordinate point and (y1, y2) is anither coordinate point. Any two points will work, but I chose A (-5,-4) and B (-3, 3).

(-4, -1/2)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
If you are trying to find the volume, you would use the formula:

You would plug in the radius (r), which is 58, and then plug in the height, which is 73.
Make sure you remember to use 3.14 and not the pi key if you are using a calculator.
The final answer is 771,096.8 yd^3
