Answer:

435

Explanation:

Suppose there were 3 people, A, B, and C. The hand shakes would be AB, AC and BC...2+1=3

Suppose there were 4 people, A,B,C,and D. The hand shakes would be AB,AC,AD,BC,BD,CD...3+2+1=6

Suppose there were 5 people, A,B,C,D and E. The shakes would be AB,AC,AD,AE,BC,BD,BE,CD,CE,DE...4+3+2+1=10

Get the pattern?

So, you would do: 29+28+27+26+25+24+23+22+21+20+19+18+17+16+15+14+13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1

Total 435

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the points

seraphim [82]

d. y = 3/4x + 17/4.

To write the slope-intercept form y = mx + b of a line passing through (-3, 2) and (1,5).

First, we have to calculate the slope m.

m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁), with (x₁, y₁) = (-3, 2) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

m = (5 - 2)/(1 - (-3))

m = 3/4

Second, we have to find the y-intercept.

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Using one of the two ordered pair and plug it in for x and y in the equation y = mx + b.

Taking the ordered pair (1, 5):

5 = 3/4 (1) + b

5 = 3/4 + b

Solving for b

b = 5 - 3/4

b = [5(4) - 3(1)]/4

b = (20 - 3)/4

b = 17/4

Finally, write down the slope-intercept equation of the form y = mx + b, with m = 3/4 and b = 17/4:

y = mx + b

y = 3/4x + 17/4

Find volume and surface area

Nadya [2.5K]

This is a right solid meaning that the area of the base doesn't change at all as you go up the shape. To find the volume of a right solid, multiply the area of the base times the height.

height      area of base                                                  Volume
    v                  v                                                                v
    7 x (4 x 2 + 3 x 2 + 3 x 2) = 7 x (8 + 6 + 6) = 7 x 20 = 140 cm^3

To find aurface area we must add together the areas of the two bases, which we learned were 20 as well as the back of the shape and the other three faces facing towards us.

bases        back                     faces
     v               v
(20 x 2) + (10 x 7) + (4 x 7) + (3 x 7) + (3 x 7) = 40 + 70 +28 + 21 + 21

Add these together to find your surface area of 180 cm^2

What is the equation of line l?

inessss [21]

Y=-3/2L -2. At the Y axis, line L is at -2, so we add that as B or the Y intercept. We can see that the graph goes 2 over to the right and down three, which makes the slope negative and 3/2 (rise/run)
