Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by ...

V = πr^2·h

For a sphere, the volume is ...

V = 4/3πr^3

You want the volumes to be the same when h=8, so we have ...

πr^2·8 = 4/3πr^3

Dividing by πr^2, we have ...

8 = 4/3r

r = 3/4·8 = 6

The radius is 6 feet.

The graph of a line has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (-6,-4).

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(A) y+4=-3(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line whose slope is m and passes through the point $(x_1, y_1)$ is: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Given the point: $(x_1, y_1)=(-6,-4)$

Slope, m=-3

$x_1=-6\\y_1=-4$

Substituting these values into: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ , we obtain the point slope form of the equation:

$y-(-4)=-3(x-(-6))\\\\y+4=-3(x+6)$

The correct option is A.
