The value of r so the line that passes through (-5,2) and (3,r) has a slope of -1/2 is -2
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that line is passing through point (-5, 2) and (3, r)
Slope of the line is
Need to determine value of r.
Slope of a line passing through point is given by following formula:
--- eqn 1
On substituting the given value in (1) we get
Hence the value of "r" is -2
Answer:
0.28cm/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the horizontal trough whose ends are isosceles trapezoid
Volume of the Trough =Base Area X Height
=Area of the Trapezoid X Height of the Trough (H)
The length of the base of the trough is constant but as water leaves the trough, the length of the top of the trough at any height h is 4+2x (See the Diagram)
The Volume of water in the trough at any time
=8h(8+2x)
V=64h+16hx
We are not given a value for x, however we can express x in terms of h from Figure 3 using Similar Triangles
x/h=1/4
4x=h
x=h/4
Substituting x=h/4 into the Volume, V
h=3m,
dV/dt=25cm/min=0.25 m/min
=0.002841m/min =0.28cm/min
The rate is the water being drawn from the trough is 0.28cm/min.
