Answer:

B. y = -3/4x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Take two points from the graph, let's use (-2, 4) and (2, 1):

Find slope:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (1 - 4) / (2 - (-2))

= -3/4

Find y-intercept using slope above and anyone point:

y = mx + b

(1) = -3/4(2) + b

1 = -3/2 + b

b = 1 + 3/2

b = 5/2

Equation of line using m and b above:

y = mx + b

y = -3/4x + 5/2

What is the volume of a sphere with a radius of 4

Ede4ka [16]

Step-by-step explanation: To find the volume of a sphere, start with the formula for the volume of a sphere which is shown below.

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

Here, we are given that our sphere has a radius of 4 units.

So plugging into the formula, we have $(\frac{4}{3})(\pi)(4 units)^{3}$ .

Start by simplifying the exponent.

(4 units)³ is equal to (4 units) (4 units) (4 units) or 64 units³.

So we have $(\frac{4}{3})(\pi)(64 units^3})$ .

Next, we multiply (4/3)(64) which can

be thought of as (4/3)(64/1)

So multiplying across the numerators and across the denominators,

we have $\frac{256}{3} \pi units^{3}$ .

A parabola can be represented by the equation y2 = –x. What are the coordinates of the focus and the equation of the directrix?

Vilka [71]

(y-k)²=4p(x-h)
(h,k) is vertex
and since we got the y term squred, it is facing left or right
when p is positive, then focus is to right of veretx
p is distance from focus to vertex and from vertex to dirextix

y²=-x
(y-0)²=4(-1/4)(x-0)
vertex is (0,0)
p is negative so then focus to left of vertex
so the focus is (-1/4,0)
dirextix is x=1/4
