y-axis = altitude in feet
x-axis = minutes
slope = y/x = feet/minute
According to above data, we know that 1800 feet is y-intercept and slope is -300 feet per minute (why slope is negative? because its approaching ground at a constant speed)
a. slope = -300
y-intercept = 1800
b. y = -300 x + 1800
c. Here we are given x = 2 minutes
y = -300(2) + 1800
y = -600 + 1800
y = 1200
The balloon will be 1200 feet high above the ground in 2 minutes.
d. Here we are given 300 feet which is y, and find x minutes.
y = -300 x + 1800
300 = -300x + 1800
300 - 1800 = - 300x
-1500 = -300x
1500 = 300 x
x = 1500 / 300
x = 5
The balloon will reach 300 feet above the ground in 5 minutes.
e. It asking when the balloon will reach the ground, if the balloon reaches the ground than the height will be 0, therefore x-intercept (y=0).
y = -300 x + 1800
0 = -300 x + 1800
-1800 = -300x
1800 / 300 = x
x = 6
The balloon will reach the ground in 6 minutes.

Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Its in the negative zone and its saying that it increased by one, so -2
Yes it is greater
35 - square root(40) = 28.6754446797
Pi(6) = 18.8495559215
We can always split a regular polygon with 
sides into triangles, whose base is the side of the polygon and whose height is the apothem of the polygon. So, the sum of the areas of all these triangles is
where is the number of sides, 
is the side length, and 
is the apothem length.
So, you just need to plug you values in: in your case, you have 
So, the formula becomes
