Answer: See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Line equation is y = ax +b. We need to solve for a and b

First we will solve for the slope (a)

Given that it is perpendicular to 2x - 6y = 12, we know that our slope a is the negative reciprocal of the slope of this line. Lets put this line in point-slope format.

2x - 6y = 12

-6y = -2x + 12

y = (1/3)x - 2

This line has a slope of 1/3 so our slope is the negative reciprocal of that. Our slope is -3

We can plug that slope into our line equation in place of a

y = -3x + b

Now we can plug in (3,6) to solve for b

y = -3x + b

6 = -3(3) + b

6 = -9 + b

15 = b

Therefore our line equation is:

y = -3x + 15

Which expression can be used to find the surface area of the following square pyramid?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant height of one side of this pyramid is 5, and the base of this side is 4.  Thus, the area of one slant side is (1/2)(5)(4) = 10 units^2.

There are 4 such sides.  Thus, the total slant surface area is 4(10 units^2), or 40 units^2.  

If you also want to include the base area, the total would be

40 units^2 + 16 units^2 = 56 units^2.

The population of bacteria in a Petri Dish is growing at a rate of 0.8t^3 + 3.5 thousand per hour. Find the total increase in ba
aliina [53]

Answer:

p=9900\\ bacterias in the initial two hours

Step-by-step explanation:

the growing rate is given by the ecuation

p(t)=0.8(t)^{3} +3.5 thousand per hour

for t=2 we have

p(2)=0.8(2)^{3} +3.5 = 9.9 thousand

p=9900\\ bacterias

In two hours we have 9900 bacterias
