Formula for slope: $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

y₂: 6

y₁: 8

x₂: 1

x₁: -2

Plug them into the slope equation:

$\frac{6 - 8}{1 - (-2)}$

--> $\frac{-2}{1 + 2}$

---> $-\frac{2}{3}$

The slope is $-\frac{2}{3}$ .

The slope of this question would be -2/3 because you would do y2-y1 over X2-X1. I was always taught for this equation that X's are the table legs, and the y's are the food to a picnic table. so you would do...

6-8 over 1-(-2). A negative minus a negative = a positive. So, therefore you get -2 over 3.

I've attached a plot of one such cross-section (orange) over the region in the x-y plane (blue), including the bounding curves (red). (I've set $y=1.25$ for this example.)

The length of each cross section (the side lying in the base) has length determined by the horizontal distance $x$ between the y-axis $x=0$ and the curve $y=\sqrt x$ . In terms of $y$ , this distance is $x=y^2$ . The height of each cross section is twice the value of $y$ , so the area of each rectangular cross section should be $2y^3$ .

This means the volume would be given by the integral

$\displaystyle\int_0^22y^3\,\mathrm dy$
