Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 3) and (5, -3) is $y = -\frac{6}{5}\cdot x +3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry we must remember that a line can be formed after knowing two distinct points on Cartesian plane. The equation of the line is described below:

$y = m\cdot x + b$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$b$ - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

If we know that $(x_{1},y_{1}) = (0,3)$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})=(5,-3)$ , the following system of linear equations is constructed:

$b = 3$ (Eq. 2)

$5\cdot m + b = -3$ (Eq. 3)

The solution of the system is: $b = 3$ , $m = -\frac{6}{5}$ . Hence, we get that equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 3) and (5, -3) is $y = -\frac{6}{5}\cdot x +3$ .

1. Remember that the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides of a figure.To solve this, we are going to use the distance formula: $d= \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$
where
$(x_{1},y_{1})$ are the coordinates of the first point
$(x_{2},y_{2})$ are the coordinates of the second point
Length of WZ:
We know form our graph that the coordinates of our first point, W, are (1,0) and the coordinates of the second point, Z, are (4,2). Using the distance formula:
$d_{WZ}= \sqrt{(4-1)^2+(2-0)^2}$
$d_{WZ}= \sqrt{(3)^2+(2)^2}$
$d_{WZ}= \sqrt{9+4}$
$d_{WZ}= \sqrt{13}$

We know that all the sides of a rhombus have the same length, so
$d_{YZ}= \sqrt{13}$
$d_{XY}= \sqrt{13}$
$d_{XW}= \sqrt{13}$

Now, we just need to add the four sides to get the perimeter of our rhombus:
$perimeter= \sqrt{13} + \sqrt{13} + \sqrt{13} + \sqrt{13}$
$perimeter=4 \sqrt{13}$
We can conclude that the perimeter of our rhombus is $4 \sqrt{13}$ square units.

2. To solve this, we are going to use the arc length formula: $s=r \alpha$
where
$s$ is the length of the arc.
$r$ is the radius of the circle.
$\alpha$ is the central angle in radians

We know form our problem that the length of arc PQ is $\frac{8}{3} \pi$ inches, so $s=\frac{8}{3} \pi$ , and we can infer from our picture that $r=15$ . Lest replace the values in our formula to find the central angle POQ:
$s=r \alpha$
$\frac{8}{3} \pi=15 \alpha$
$\alpha = \frac{\frac{8}{3} \pi}{15}$
$\alpha = \frac{8}{45} \pi$

Since $\alpha =POQ$ , We can conclude that the measure of the central angle POQ is $\frac{8}{45} \pi$

3. A cross section is the shape you get when you make a cut thought a 3 dimensional figure. A rectangular cross section is a cross section in the shape of a rectangle. To get a rectangular cross section of a particular 3 dimensional figure, you need to cut in an specific way. For example, a rectangular pyramid cut by a plane parallel to its base, will always give us a rectangular cross section.
We can conclude that the draw of our cross section is:
