Answer:

<h2>y = 3.5x - 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

<h3>y = mx + b</h3>

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have y-intercept b = -2. Substitute:

<h3>y = mx - 2</h3>

We have the point (4, 12) → x = 4, y = 12. Put them in the equation:

12 = 4m - 2         <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

14 = 4m       <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

14/4 = m → m = 3.5

Answer:

y = 3.5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the y-intercept of our equation is -2, so our current equation is: y = mx - 2. Now we have to find m, which is the slope. Now, we plug in the points into the equation y = mx - 2, and we get 12 = 4m - 2. Thus, m is 3.5. Our final equation is y = 3.5x - 2.

Find the volume of the composite solid. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Volume of solid = 737 cm³ (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius r = 4 cm

Length of cylinder = 12 cm

Find:

Volume of solid

Computation:

Volume of solid = Volume of hemisphere + Volume of cylinder

Volume of solid = (2/3)πr³ + πr²h

Volume of solid = (2/3)π(4)³ + π(4)²(12)

Volume of solid = 134 + 603

Volume of solid = 737 cm³ (Approx)

Candle food is on sale for 20% of the original price what is the discount of the key if the original price is $1.35
Evgesh-ka [11]

Hi there!

To calculate a discount or a mark-up in the price of a retail item, you need to multiply the given price of the item by the percentage, like so:

1.35 × 0.2 = 0.27

Then you add or subtract as necessary. In your case you would subtract since you are trying to find a discount price.

1.35 - 0.27 = 1.08

So the final price of the product after the discount is $1.08
