Answer:

y = -2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is found by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (-1-5)/(1--2)

    = -6/(1+2)

    = -6/3

    = -2

Then we can use point slope form to make an equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-5 = -2(x--2)

y-5 = -2(x+2)

Distribute

y-5 = -2x -4

Add 5 to each side

y-5+5 = -2x-4+5

y = -2x+1

This is in point slope form

Xints are where y=0

0=x^2+4x-12
0=(x-2)(x+6)

x-2=0
x=2

x+6=0
x=-6

(x,y)
xints are
(2,0) and (-6,0)

Find the diameter of a cone that has a volume of 56.52 cubic inches and a height of 6 inches. Use 3.14 for pi. a. 3 inches. b. 6
sergejj [24]
Volume of cone = (1/3)pi*r²h

56.52 = (1/3)*3.14*r²*6

56.52/(2*3.14) = r²

9 = r²

r² = 9

r = √9

r = 3

Diameter = 2*r = 2*3 = 6 inches.    b.
