Answer:

8.4in²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the dimensions of a box as :

7in = Height

6in = Length

2in = Width

The volume of a box = Length × Width × Height

Volume of a box = 7in × 6in × 2in

= 84in²

We are also told in the question to find the volume of the box if it is scaled down by a factor of 1/10

Hence,the new volume = 84in² × 1/10

= 8.4in²

Therefore, the volume of the box if it is scaled down by a factor of 1/10 is 8.4in²

The equation of the line that goes through the points ( − 3 , − 9 ) and ( − 6 , − 3 ) can be written in the form y = m x + b

Answer:

$y=-2x-15$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=mx+b$ .

m is the slope of the line. To find it we can do $\frac{dy}{dx}$ which is the difference between the y-coordinates divided by the difference between the x-coordinates.

So: $\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{-9-(-3)}{-3-(-6)} =\frac{-6}{3} =-2$ . Now we have the slope, let's input a set of coordinates into the equation so that we can find the constant $b$ .
