Answer:

y=2/3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the given options are in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

This is where m is the slope fo the line and b is the y intercept

That said, we can simply plug the given values into the form.

y=(2/3)x+(-2)

Simplify

y=2/3x-2

Answer:

A. y= 2/3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is written in slope-intercept form, which is:

y= mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The line has a slope of 2/3 and a y-intercept of -2. Therefore,

m= 2/3

b= -2

Substitute these values into the slope intercept form.

y= mx+b

y=2/3x+(-2)

Adding a negative number (+-) can be simplified to just a negative(-)

y= 2/3x-2

Therefore, the equation of the line is A. y= 2/3x-2

989.5 divided by 17.8 is 55.5898876404
so about 55 ish
I think that's right but I'm not sure :)

If X = 16 feet and Y = 8 feet, what is the area of the figure above ? Use 3.14 for pi .

Setler [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can probably figure out the rectangle of 16 by 8 so no explaining there. 16×8=128. You know that diameter of the cirkel is equal to y so 8. The diameter of a cirkel is two times its radius. so 8=2r. r=4. The area of a cirkel is calculated by the formula \pi×r^2. Fill in r=4 in \pi×r^2 gives us \pi×4^2=16\pi. You only have half of the cirkel so 16\pi/2=8\pi. 128+8\pi=153.12 which is A.
