Answer: y= - 4x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: y=mx+b

***remember: b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

3= x1

2= x2

6= y1

10=y2

m=\frac{10-6}{2-3}= \frac{4}{1}= -4

m=-4

Now we have y=-4x+b , so let's find b.

You can use either (x,y) such as (3,6) or (2,10) point you want..the answer will be the same:

   (3,6). y=mx+b or 6=-4 × 3+b, or solving for b: b=6-(-4)(3). b=18.

   (2,10). y=mx+b or 10=-4 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=10-(-4)(2). b=18.

Equation of the line: y=-4x+18

What is the equation of the midline for the function f (x)?<br><br> f (t) = 3 cos (x) – 2.5
zaharov [31]

Answer:

  y = -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For such a problem as this, you can replace all sine or cosine functions with their midline value of 0. Then you have ...

  f(x) = 0 -2.5

which simplifies to ...

  f(x) = -2.5

You can leave the equation like this, or write it as ...

  y = -2.5

_____

Perhaps you can see that the midline is the value of any constant added to a sine or cosine function.

Lynette has a metal doorstop with the dimensions shown.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Volume = 105in³

Mass = 871.5g

To find the volume of the metal we can find the area of a base, and multiply it by the prism's width.

The base is 30cm in area, and the width is 3.5cm, which makes the volume 105in³

The mass of the doorstop can be found by just multiplying the grams per cubic centimeter by the volume, which would be 871.5g
