Answer:

y=-8x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y2-y1/x2-x1. Take coordinate (0,-2), which is the y-intercept. We'll call that (y2,x2). Coordinate (8,-3) is (y1,x1). Put that into the formula you get, 0-8/-2-(-3). You get -8/1 which is negative 8. We now have the slope. Slope intercept form equation is y=mx+b. M is slope, so we put our slope in the equation and get, y=-8x+b. B is the y-intercept which is given. So we know that the equation to this line in slope-intercept form is y=-8x-2.

How do I do this I don’t know where to start

seropon [69]

This is simple pythagoras, its just a²+b²=c². First you find the hypotenuse, which is 97; now you have the equation: x²+72²=97²
x²=9409-5184
x= √4225
x=65
the answer is 65m

What is the surface area of the right cone below?

Flauer [41]

First find height using Pythagorean theorem.

$h^2+4^2=13^2\implies h=\sqrt{153}\approx12.37$ .

Then use cone surface area formula and compute the result:

$A=\pi r(r+\sqrt{h^2+r^2})\approx\boxed{68\pi}\mathrm{units^2}$ .

Hope this helps.

How to find left and right inverse of a 3x2 matrix.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Let A be a 3×2 matrix, L its left inverse, and R its right inverse. L and R are then matrices such that LA = I₂ (the 2×2 identity matrix) and AR = I₃ (the 3×3 identity matrix). Clearly L must be 2×3 and R must be 3×2 in order for the matrix products to be defined.

To find L and R, we start by introducing a square matrix on the the left sides of either equation above. In particular, we uniformly multiply both sides by the transpose of A, then solve for the inverse.

For the left inverse, we have

$LA=I$
