Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the line can be found using the slope intercept form

y = mx +b

y= -3/2 x + 3

x intercept is found by setting y=0 bc that will give you the x-value at which the line crosses the x -axis so

0 = -3/2x+3 (subtract the 3 on both sides) would cancel out the + 3 and would

-3 = -3/2 x (divide by -3/2 on both sides to cancel out the -3/2)

x = 2

Find the surface area of the following figure with the given dimension

andrezito [222]

Answer:

The surface area is 54 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached figure

Required

The surface area

This is calculated as:

$SA = 2(LW + LH + HW)$

Where

$L = Length\\ W = Width\\ H = Height\\$

So,

$SA = 2 * (3 * 3 + 3 * 3 + 3 * 3)$

$SA = 54$

Find the equation of the line that passes through (1, -1) and is parallel to

daser333 [38]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$2x+y-3=0\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-2} x+3 \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and that passes through (1 , -1)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-1)}=\stackrel{m}{-2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1}) \\\\\\ y+1=-2x+2\implies y=-2x+1$
