Answer:

y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{135}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need two points on a line to find the equation for that line.

We are going to use 2 points that cross that line or at least come close to. You don't have to use the green points... just any point on the line will work.  You might have to approximate a little.

I see ~(67.5,67.5) and ~(64,65).

Now once you have your points, we need to find the slope.

You may use \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where (x_1,y_1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) are points on the line.

Or you can line up the points vertically and subtract then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

Like this:

(  64  ,   65  )

-( 67.5, 67.5 )

--------------------

-3.5        -2.5

So the slope is -2.5/-3.5=2.5/3.5=25/35=5/7.

Now use point-slope form to find the equation:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1) where m is the slope and (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line.

y-65=\frac{5}{7}(x-64)

Distribute:

y-65=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}\cdot 64

Simplify:

y-65=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{320}{7}

Add 65 on both sides:

y=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{320}{7}+65

Simplify:

y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{135}{7}

The diameter of a cylindrical construction pipe is 4ft If the pipe is 17ft long, what is its volume? Use the value 3.14 for /pi,
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

213.52 cubic ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of pipe = 4ft

radius for circle is half of diameter

thus radius of pipe = 1/2 of 4ft = 2 ft

length of pipe = 17 feet

volume of cylinder is given by \pi r^2l

where r is the radius and l is the length of cylinder

.

thus volume of pipe is calculated below using above values

volume \ of \ pipe = \pi r^2l\\volume \ of \ pipe = \3.14* 2^2*17 \\volume \ of \ pipe =  213.52

volume of pipe is 213.52 cubic ft.

Find the values of a and b that make the quadrilateral a parallelogram.
Yuri [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

both halves of a diagonal must be equal.

so,

8b - 30 = 6b + 6

2b = 36

b = 18

and

9a - 13 = 5a + 5

4a = 18

a = 18/4 = 4.5

2f +4f +2 -3
 combine the like terms to get 6f-1

 so yes they are equivalent

2f+4f+2-3 at f=3 would also be 17
