Hey there!

The shape being described in letter A is a prism. A prism has two polygonal shapes on either end that can be any shape consisting of three or more sides. This won't be your answer, since cylinders have circular bases on either side. 

The shape being described in letter B is a cylinder. Not sure why they needed to throw in the plane part, but this is the only answer that describes the bases as being circular (or, as they put it, discs). 

The shape being described in letter C is a pyramid. If a shape has a polygonal base and meets at a point at the other end, it will be a pyramid. Obviously, a pyramid only has one end, meaning that this isn't your answer. 

The shape being described in letter D is a cone. Again, if a shape has a base and meets at a point, it will be a pyramid. However, in the case of a cone, the base will be circular and the other side will meet at a point. The entire shape will be rounded where a pyramid would have edges. Again, not your answer. 

Your answer will be B. Hope this helped you out! :-)

Find the slope of the line that passes through the following points. (-8,-1) (-4,-2)
lana [24]

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of a line given two points by using

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

    = (-2- -1)/( -4 - -8)

    = (-2+1)/(-4+8)

     = -1/4

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-7}-\stackrel{y1}{8}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{(-6)}}}\implies \cfrac{-15}{3+6}\implies \cfrac{-15}{9}\implies -\cfrac{5}{3}

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{8}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{5}{3}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-6)}]\implies y-8=-\cfrac{5}{3}(x+6) \\\\\\ y-8=-\cfrac{5}{3}x-10\implies y = -\cfrac{5}{3}x-2

What is the vertex of y<∣x−3∣+5​
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

(3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is is the standard y=|x| except the values tells you that x shifts 3 (within the absolute value or parentheses x does the opposite) to the right and the y value shifts 5 up (numbers outside parentheses affects y and does what it says). You can try using a table of values then graphing to check your answer.
