Answer:

Equation of line =

y = -2x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for equation of a line with two points

(y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1) = (y - y_1) / (x - x_1)

Using the points we are provided with

( 5,1)(7,-3)

x_1 = 5

y_1 = 1

x_2 = 7

y_2 = -3

Inserting those values

( -3 - 1) / (7 - 5) = (y - 1) / (x - 5)

-4/2 = (y - 1) / (x - 5)

Cross multiply

-4(x - 5) = 2 ( y - 1)

Open the brackets

-4x + 20 = 2y - 2

-4x +20 +2 = 2y

-4x + 22 = 2y

Divide through by 2 to get the value of y following the rules

y = mx + C

-4x + 22 = 2y

-4x + 22 / 2 = 2y/2

-4x + 22 / 2 = y

We can still separate

-4x / 2 + 22/ 2 = y

-2x + 11 = y

y = -2x + 11

What multiplication problem is equivalent to 3 3/8 divide by 3/8

Anni [7]

The expression $3\frac{3}{8}\div \frac{3}{8}$ can be written in multiplication problem as: $3\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{8}{3}$ or $\frac{27}{8}\times \frac{8}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find What multiplication problem is equivalent to $3\frac{3}{8}\div \frac{3}{8}$

We are given: $3\frac{3}{8}\div \frac{3}{8}$

Writing it in multiplication problem.

When division sign is changed to multiplication sign, the fraction is reciprocated.

$3\frac{3}{8}\div \frac{3}{8}$

Converting division into multiplication

$3\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{8}{3}$

or we can write as:

$\frac{27}{8}\times \frac{8}{3}$

So, the expression $3\frac{3}{8}\div \frac{3}{8}$ can be written in multiplication problem as: $3\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{8}{3}$ or $\frac{27}{8}\times \frac{8}{3}$

The volume V of a cone varies jointly as the area of the base B and the height

seraphim [82]

Answer:

h = 9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

V = kBh where k is the constant of variation.

From the given info:

32 = k*16*6 = 96k

So k = 32/96 = 1/3.

So we have the equation of variation:

V = 1/3Bh

When V = 60 B = 20, so:

60 = 1/3 20h

20h = 60 * 3 = 180

h = 180 /20 = 9.
