Answer:

The equation of a line is y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  

Since we have the y-intercept, all we need to do is find the slope. To find the slope, you need 2 coordinates.

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y axis, so it is where x is 0. Since the y intercept is -2, that means the first coordinate is (0, -2)

The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x axis, so it is where y is 0. Since the x intercept is 4, that means the second coordinate is (4, 0)

Since we already have the y-intercept, all we do is put the slope in the equation: y = 1/2x - 2.

Solve the following by factoring. 12x^2 -7x -12 = 0
nirvana33 [79]

Solution:

The given equation is

12x^2 -7x -12 = 0

Now we will factor the middle term as per the ac-method because the given equation is a quadratic equation.

12x^2 -7x -12 = 0\\\\12x^2-16x+9x-12=0\\\\4x(3x-4)+3(3x-4)=0\\\\(3x-4)(4x+3)=0\\\\3x-4=0,or, 4x+3=0\\\\x=\frac{4}{3},x=\frac{-3}{4}\\

No because the lines are not connecting. The definition of a function is a relationship involving one or more variables. This can't be a function because their is only one variable.

The formula for a cylinder is PieR^2H (Pi x Radius squared x Height).
Given the standard form of pi is 3.14, the height is 7, and the radius is 4, we can solve this easily.
The answer is 351.85 ft.
