Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, I drawed this graph and uploaded it for you...
We know that a line equation is y = ax + b and I want to know which equation goes through the points (-1, -5) and (1, -1).
Let's put these points in the algebreac expression of line to find the correct equation:
-5 = a. (-1) + b
-1 = a.(1) + b
solving this system of equation by elimination, we find 2b = -6 and b = -3.
Then, -5 = -a + (-3)
-a = -5 + 3
a = 2
Finally, our line equation is y = 2x - 3
The slope also is represented by a. So, the slope is 2.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area = lateral area + 2(area of base)
Lateral area = perimeter of base * height.
Because it is a isosceles right triangle, both sides are equal.
= 72
2 = 72. Divide both sides by 2
= 36. Square both sides.
x = 6.
So the perimeter of the base = 6 + 6 + = 20.485281374239
Lateral area = 20.485281374239 * 7 = 143.397
Area of base is (1/2)base * height.
(1/2)(6)(6) = 18
Using the surface area formula
surface area = 143.397 + 2(18) = 179.4
