The equation of the straight line is y=mx+q where q is the number on the y-axis where the line passes, as you can see it is -3. It turns into:
y=mx+(-3) -> y=mx-3
Then consider a point on the line and take the coordinates, such as the point with coordinates (-2;-4), so now you know that:
x=-2 and y=-4
At this point you put these values into the equation:
y=mx-3
-4=m(-2)-3
then solve:
-4=-2m-3
-2m=+3-4
-2m=-1
m=+1/2
Put the value of m into the equation and you found it:
y=1/2x-3
First lets convert the diameter to cm,
2.4 m equals 240 cm, that is by multiplying 2.4 times 100 because 1 meter has 100 cm
then we need to know how to calculate the circumference, and that is by multiplying pi (3.14) times the diameter of the circumference, that is:
circumference = pi*diameter = 3.14*240
circumference = 753.6 cm
that is the solution
It's 61/21. That's the answer.
Answer:
the correct answer is -5x - 1
