The required equation is:

y=-\frac{6}{5}x+\frac{53}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l_1 be the line through  (-1, -2) and (5, 3)

and l_2 be the line we require which passes through (3,7)

We have to find the lope of l_1 first

m_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\=\frac{3-(-2)}{5-(-1)}\\=\frac{3+2}{5+1}\\=\frac{5}{6}

we have to find the equation of line perpendicular to l1

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1

Let m_2 be the slope of l_2

Then

\frac{5}{6}*m_2=-1\\m_2=-\frac{6}{5}

The general slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Putting the value of slope

y=-\frac{6}{5}x+b

To find the value of b, we will put (3,7) in the equation

7=-\frac{6}{5}(3)+b\\7=-\frac{18}{5}+b\\b=7+\frac{18}{5}\\b=\frac{35+18}{5}\\b=\frac{53}{5}

Putting the values of b and m in standard slope intercept form:

y=-\frac{6}{5}x+\frac{53}{5}

Hence,

The required equation is:

y=-\frac{6}{5}x+\frac{53}{5}

The two cylinders pictured at the right are congruent Haw
leonid [27]

The volume of the larger cone is equal to the total volume of the two smaller cones

<h3>How to compare both cones?</h3>

From the question, we have two equal cylinders.

This means that the cylinders have equal volume.

From the complete question, a large cone is placed in one of the cylinders, while two small cones are placed in the other.

Since the cylinders have equal volumes, then the volume of the large cone equals the sum of the volumes of the smaller cones.

Hence, the volume of the larger cone is equal to the total volume of the two smaller cones
