First of all, Let's find the slope because we need it on the formula for finding the y-intercept.

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

From the points given in the question,

x1 = 1

x2 = 2

y1 = 4

y2 = -4

Plugging in the above formula,

➝ m = -4 - 4 / 2 - 1

➝ m = -8 / 1

➝ m = -8

Now finding the y-intercept:

➝ y = mx + b

And if we put in the values from our first point (1, 4) we get

➝ 1 = -8 (4) + b

➝ 1 = -32 + b

➝ b = 1 + 32

➝ b = 33

Required equation of the line:

➝ y = -8x + 33

A carpenter is building a unique jewelry box in the shape of a right triangular prism. The base has measurements of 4 inches, 3
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Answer: The carpenter will need 84 square inches of wood.

In this problem we are looking for the surface area of the jewelry box. This box has 5 faces. The two triangles at each end and the 3 rectangle pieces between them.

The sides of the triangles are 3, 4, 5 which always forms a right triangle with legs of 3 and 4. Use the formula for the area of a triangle, we have 3 x 4 / 2 = 6. The area of each triangle is 6 square inches.

Now, the three sides, each one has a height of 6.
3 x 6 = 18
4 x 6 = 24
5 x 6 = 30

If we add all the sides together, we get an area of 84 square inches.
6 + 6 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 84

Franklin Porter purchased a waterbed for $4,500. He made a 20 percent down payment and financed the remainder. What amount did h
ira [324]
To find the amount that Franklin financed, you will calculate the amount he put down and subtract that from the original price because that is what he still owes.

0.2 x $4500 = $900
$4500 - $900 = $3600.

Porter financed $3600.

You also multiply 0.8 x $4500 because this represents the part out of 100% he still owes.  You will get the same answer this way.
