What is the equation of a line that passes through points (2,0) and (6,-4)

Mathematics
1 answer:
romanna [79]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a line

Step 1: find the slope

We are given two points

( 2 , 0) ( 6 , -4)

m = (y_2 - y_1 )/ (x_2 - x_1)

x_1 = 2

y_1 = 0

x_2 = 6

y_2 = -4

Insert the values

m = ( -4 - 0) / ( 6 - 2)

m = -4 / 4

m = -1

Step 2 : substitute m into the equation

y = mx + c

y = -1x + c

Step 3: substitute any of the two points into the equation

Let's pick ( 6 , -4)

x = 6

y = -4

y = mx + c

y = -1x + c

-4 = -1(6) + c

-4 = -6 + c

c = -4 + 6

c = 2

Step 4: substitute c = 2 into the equation

y = mx + c

y = -x + c

y = -x + 2

1. A sphere is sliced so that the cross section does not intersect the center of the sphere.
stich3 [128]
1. The shape of cross-section is a circle.
2. The face parallel to ABCD is EFGH. Since this is a a rectangular shape,

A = L*H = 12*6 = 72 cm^2

3. The cross-section parallel to ABC is DEF with h = 12 ft, b= 5ft (where h is the height and b is the base of a right angled triangle).

Area, A = 1/2 *b*h = 1/2*5*12 =30 ft^2

4. Plane BDHF is a rectangle shape whose length is the diagonal of ABCD.

Diagonal BD = sqrt (AB^2+BD^2) = sqrt (8^2+7^2) = 10.63 cm.
Perimeter, P = 2(BD+DH) = 2(10.63+6) = 33.26 cm

What is the surface area of the regular pyramid
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The answer is 144.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cause, 6 x 6 for the square is 36. For the triangle, 9 x 6 is 54, and 54 divided by 2 is 27. 27 x 4 is equal to 108. Now, we just add 108 and 36 to make 144.
