(-3,-5)(2,4)
slope(m) = (4 - (-5) / (2 - (-3) = (4 + 5) / (2 + 3) = 9/5

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 9/5
(2,4)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 4
sub
y - 4 = 9/5(x - 1)....this is the correct answer

the student figured the slope wrong....it is 9/5...not -9/5

Triangle XYZ has vertices at X(–2, –1), Y(–3, –6), and Z(–7, –5). If triangle XYZ is rotated 90° clockwise, what will be the coo
Delvig [45]

Answer:1. Is right 3 down 5, because to get from x(0,0) to x'(3,-5), you need I shift to the right 3 and downwards 5.

2. Counterclockwise 180 degrees. This is because 180 degrees is half of a full rotation (360 degrees), meaning the point would be the same no matter which way you rotated 180 degrees.

3. Clockwise 90 degrees. Going counter clock wise 270 degrees is like going around 3/4 of a circle (because 270/360 is 3/4). Just as well, going clock wise 90 degrees is like going 1/4 of the circle, but in the opposite direction. This means they will both land at the same point.

Hope this Helps!

Nadusha1986 [10]

Juan does not have enough paint to cover shape of a right rectangle prism

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Juan wants to paint something in the shape of a right rectangle prism

From given,

Length = 17 inches

Width = 11 inches

Height = 9 inches

<em><u>The surface area of prism is given as:</u></em>

A=2(wl+hl+hw)

Where, "l" is the length and "w" is the width and "h" is the height

<em><u>Substituting the values we get,</u></em>

A = 2(11 \times 17 + 9 \times 17 +9 \times 11)\\\\A = 2(187+153+99)\\\\A = 2 \times 439 \\\\A = 878

Thus surface area of prism is 878 square inches

Given that,

He had enough paint to cover 850 sq in

No he cannot paint since surface area is 878 square inches which is greater than 850 square inches

So, he does not have enough paint
