The volume of triangular prism V = A * h.
So, V = 3.5*5 = 17.5 cubic inches

What is the nonpermissible value of x in 5x/6x+3

cestrela7 [59]

Answer: $-\frac{1}{2}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\frac{5x}{6x+3}$

Restriction: 6x + 3 ≠ 0 <em>denominator cannot be zero</em>

<u> -3 </u> <u> -3 </u>

6x ≠ -3

<u> ÷6 </u> <u>÷6 </u>

x ≠ $-\frac{1}{2}$

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line; (-5,-4) and prep. To y equals 5x plus 1

ohaa [14]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{5} x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is defined by: $y=5x+1$ , where we see that the slope is 5 and the y-intercept 1.

In order to find a line perpendicular to the given one, we need it to have a slope that is the "opposite of the reciprocal" of the given slope.

"Opposite" means it would have its sign inverted (in our case from positive to negative); and "reciprocal means that instead of 5, it would be its reciprocal: $\frac{1}{5}$ .

We can write this new line with such slope, and try to find its y-intercept (b) by using the given condition that requires it to go through the point (-5,-4) on he plane:

$y=-\frac{1}{5} x+b$

we require then that when $x=-5$ , the value of $y=-4$ .

Therefore: $-4=-\frac{1}{5} (-5)+b\\-4=\frac{5}{5} +b\\-4=1+b\\b=-4-1=-5$

Then our final answer is that the new line should have the form: $y=-\frac{1}{5} x-5$

Slide and transformation

Ludmilka [50]

The rule that describes this transformation is (x - 3, y + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The points of the trapezoid are

M; (-3, -1),

N; (-4, 3),

P; (1, 3), and

Q; (-1, -1).

Step 2:

To translate the points to 3 units on the left, we subtract the x coordinate by 3 because it is moved to the left. So x becomes x - 3.

In order to translate the points to 1 unit up, we add 1 to the y coordinate as it is moved in the positive direction of y. So y becomes y + 1.

Combining these we get (x, y) becomes (x - 3, y + 1).
