Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-7,9) and (-7,1). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope fo
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

It is a vertical line

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope using rise over run (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(1 - 9) / (-7 + 7)

-8/0

= undefined

Dividing by 0 gives you an undefined number. This means that the slope is undefined, and the line is a vertical line.

Box A has a surface area of 98 in 2. If box B is 4 times the size of box A, what is the surface area of box B?
Ksju [112]

Given:

Box A has a surface area of 98 in².

Box B is 4 times the size of box A.

To find:

The surface area of box B.

Solution:

Let "a" be the side of box A , then "4a" be the side of box B because box B is 4 times the size of box A.

We know that the areas of similar figures are proportional to the square of their corresponding sides.

\dfrac{\text{Area of box A}}{\text{Area of box B}}=\dfrac{(\text{Side of box A})^2}{(\text{Side of box B})^2}

\dfrac{98}{A_B}=\dfrac{(a)^2}{(4a)^2}

\dfrac{98}{A_B}=\dfrac{(a)^2}{16a^2}

\dfrac{98}{A_B}=\dfrac{1}{16}

Using cross multiplication, we get

98\times 16=1\times A_B

1568=A_B

Therefore, the surface area of box B is 1568 in².
