-2 because they are negatives so the closer to 0 the bigger the number

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these numbers are negative numbers they are getting further and further away from 0. When they are going negative they are actually being a smaller number.

So, since -2 is the closest to 0 out of these, that is the answer!

Answer:

$360\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the area of the bottom rectangle

$A = l * w$

$A = 10\ cm * 12\ cm$

$A = 120\ cm^2$

Step 2: Determine the area of the back rectangle

$A = l * w$

$A = 10\ cm * 5\ cm$

$A = 50\ cm^2$

Step 3: Determine the area of the top rectangle

$A = l * w$

$A = 10\ cm * 13\ cm$

$A = 130\ cm^2$

Step 4: Determine the area of the triangle

$A = \frac{h*b}{2}$

$A = \frac{5\ cm * 12\ cm}{2}$

$A = \frac{60\ cm^2}{2}$

$A = 30\ cm^2$

Step 5: Determine the surface area

$120\ cm^2 + 50\ cm^2 + 130\ cm^2 + 2(30\ cm^2)$

$360\ cm^2$

Answer: $360\ cm^2$

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to -2x+3y=-6 and passes through the point (-2,0)

mr_godi [17]

First, a line that is parallel, means a line that has the same slope as the original. To find the slope of the original equation, we have to solve for y.
-2x+3y=-6
3y=2x-6
y=2/3x-2
From this equation, we can see that the slope of the line is 2/3. For every 2 units you go up, you move three units over.

Now we need to use the point (-2,0) to find the equation of the parallel line.
y-y=m(x-x)

Plug in the point coordinates and the slope, and solve for the final equation of the line.
y-0=2/3(x+2)
y=2/3x+ 4/3
