Answer:

y = - 5x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 5, thus

y = - 5x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (2, 6) into the partial equation

6 = - 10 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 10 = 16

y = - 5x + 16 ← equation of line

If a radius of a sphere is divided by 2, will the surface area be divided by 2?

olganol [36]

If r is the radius of a sphere its surface area = 4(pi)r^2.

If the radius is doubled then its surface area = 4(pi)(2r)^2 = 4*4(pi)r^2.

So the surface area becomes 4-fold or the increase in surface area is 300%.
