We'll use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We know the slope, -1/5. Now the equation looks like y = (-1/5)m + b
To find the y-intercept, plug in the ordered pair that the question gave us into our equation and solve for b.
7 = (-1/5)(-3) + b
7 = 0.6 + b
6.4 = b
b = 6 2/5
So, the y-intercept will be at 6 2/5.
Answer:
Volume = 113.1 cubic cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The bisector of the angle at A (call it AQ) divides the segment BC into segments BQ:QC having the ratio AB:AC. Use this fact to find x.
.. 9:15 = (2x -1):3x
.. 15(2x -1) = 9*3x . . . . . the product of the means equals the product of extremes
.. 30x -15 = 27x
.. 3x = 15
.. x = 5
___
According to the value of x, the bisector AQ divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles: ABQ, ACQ.
The answer to that is 20x^4
10/9 can be rewritten as 1 1/9, so it's closest to 1. 2/15 is really small, so close to 0.
