Write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-3, 7) and (3, 3).
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

y = -2/3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3, 7) and (3, 3)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(3 - 7) / (3 -(-3))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (3 - 7) / (3 + 3)

Simplify the fraction.

= (-4) / (6)

= -4/6

= -2/3

This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.

y = -2/3x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the second point (3, 3). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

3 = -2/3(3) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(3)

3 = -2 + b

Now, add 2 to both sides to isolate b.

5 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -2/3x + 5

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (-3, 7).

y = -2/3x + 5

7= -2/3(-3) + 5

7 = 2 + 5

7 = 7

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!

the surface areas of two similar solids are 1008cm^2 and 1372ccm^2. the volume of the larger solid is 1801cm^3 find the volume o
adoni [48]
This can be treated as a proportion problem.

Larger solid: 
Surface area = 1,372 cm²
Volume = 1,801 cm³

Smaller solid:
Surface area = 1,008cm²
Volume = ?

1,372 / 1,801 = 1008 / x
1,372 * x = 1,801 * 1008
1,372x = 1,815,408
x = 1,815,408 / 1,372
x = 1,323.18

The volume of the smaller solid is 1,323.18 cm³

On a cold February morning, the radiator fluid in Stanley’s car is -18 degrees When the engine is running, the temperature goes
Rasek [7]

Remark

This is an arithmetic progression. You have the first and last terms and the difference.

Givens

a = - 18

L = 60

d = 4.5        

Equation

L = a + (n - 1)d

Solve

60 = -18 + (n - 1) * 4.5   Add 18 to both side

60 + 18 = (n - 1) * 4.5      

78 = (n - 1) * 4.5           Divide both sides by 4.5

78/4.5 = n - 1

17.3333 = n - 1             Add 1 to both  sides.

18.3333 = n

Conclusion

It will that 18 1/3 or 18.33333 minutes to get the from -18 to 60 degrees.
