the equation for a line is y = mx+b
m = slope
b = y intercept
you know the slope is 2/3 and the y intercept is 7 so just replace them in the equation:
y =2/3x +7
5 seashells , because 9 + 1 = 10 and if you were to give them an equally amount of seashells it would be 5 if you split 10 in half . SO the answer would be 5 .
So the picture below shows what the slant height is. It also shows that the pyramid can form a right triangle, in which we can use the pythagorean theorem, which is 
.
But first, we have to find the height of this pyramid. The volume formula for a square pyramid is 
. Since we know its a square pyramid, the length and width are going to be the same (12 ft), and we know that the volume is 432 ft^3. Using this info, we can solve for the height:
So now we can use the pythagorean theorem (remember to split the 12 by 2, since the right triangle has only half the length of the base). Our equation will be solved as such:
In short, the slant height is 10.8 ft.
One nice thing about this situation is that you’ve been given everything in the same base. To review a little on the laws of exponents, when you have two exponents with the same base being:
– Multiplied: Add their exponents
– Divided: Subtract their exponents
We can see that in both the numerator and denominator we have exponents *multiplied* together, and the product in the numerator is being *divided* by the product in the detonator, so that translates to *summing the exponents on the top and bottom and then finding their difference*. Let’s throw away the twos for a moment and just focus on the exponents. We have
[11/2 + (-7) + (-5)] - [3 + 1/2 + (-10)]
For convenience’s sake, I’m going to turn 11/2 into the mixed number 5 1/2. Summing the terms in the first brackets gives us
5 1/2 + (-7) + (-5) = - 1 1/2 + (-5) = -6 1/2
And summing the terms in the second:
3 + 1/2 + (-10) = 3 1/2 + (-10) = -6 1/2
Putting those both into our first question gives us -6 1/2 - (-6 1/2), which is 0, since any number minus itself gives us 0.
Now we can bring the 2 back into the mix. The 0 we found is the exponent the 2 is being raised to, so our answer is
2^0, which is just 1.
The two-digit number you are looking for is 12.
4 x 3 = 12.
6 x 2 = 12.
This fits your criteria.
