keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmmm what's the slope of that line above anyway,

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{(-1)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{1}}}\implies \cfrac{2+1}{3}\implies 1 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{\underline{1}\implies \cfrac{\underline{1}}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{\underline{1}}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{\underline{1}}\implies -1}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1 and runs through (2,5)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \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}{5}=\stackrel{m}{-1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \\\\\\ y-5=-x+2\implies y=-x+7

Drew needs to air up his teams 8 soccer balls. Each ball has a diameter of 70cm. In terms of pi, what is the total volume of air
Liula [17]

Answer:

1.44m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Number of balls= 8

Diameter of ball = 70cm = 0.7m

Radius= 35cm= 0.35m

We know that a ball has a spherical shape

The volume of a sphere is

V= 4/3πr^3

substitute

V= 4/3*3.142*0.35^3

V= 0.18m^3

Hence if 1 ball has a volume of 0.18m^3

Then 8 balls will have a volume of

=0.18*8

=1.44m^3
