Answer:

y = 3/4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you write the equation in slope-intercept form, you will need the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b):

y = mx + b

To solve this, you first need to know the slope of the line in the given equation. In order to do this, change it to slope-intercept form for easy analyzation:

-3x + 4y = 4

= 4y = 3x + 4

= y = 3/4x + 1

Now, you know the slope(m) is 3/4, so you have this much of the slope-intercept equation:

y = 3/4x + b

At this point, you need to find the y-intercept. This can be done by plugging in the given point in the equation and solving for b:

using (4, 0) and y = 3/4x + b,

(0) = 3/4(4) + b

0 = 3 + b

b = -3

So, that means that the equation for the line is:

y = 3/4x - 3

The solid surface area is equal to the solid volume. Find the value of x? The measurements of the rectangular prism is 9 inches

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$x=7.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent height of the prism.

We know that volume of rectangular is equal to product of its height, width and length.

$\text{Surface area of rectangular prism}=2(wl+lh+hw)$ , where w, h and l represents width, length and height respectively.

We have been given that the surface area of rectangular prism is equal to the volume of the prism. So we can set an equation as:

$lwh=2(wl+lh+hw)$

We are also told that the measurements of the rectangular prism is 9 inches long and 4 inches wide. Upon substituting these values in above equation, we will get:

$9\cdot 4\cdot x=2(4\cdot 9+9\cdot x+x\cdot 4)$
