Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you're being asked to identify the sequence of steps you would use to compute the volume of the pyramid.

It seems to be a good idea to start with the formula for the volume.

Then, recognize that you need to compute B, so make that computation. The area of the base (B) is the product of the base dimensions (14)(12).

Once you have the value of B, then you can put that, along with the value of h, into the original volume formula.

Evaluating it gives the volume in cubic units.

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you're familiar with the pyramid volume formula, you know that you must compute B before you can make use of the formula. That makes the sequence be B=14(12); B=168; V=1/3Bh; V=1/3(168)(7).

However, if you're starting from scratch, it is probably good to begin with the volume formula. That is what tells you that you need to find B in the first place. This is the sequence we show below.

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to 2x+3y=9 that passes through (-2,5). Write your answer in slope-intercept form. S

Harman [31]

ANSWER

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8$

EXPLANATION

The line given to us has equation,

$2x + 3y = 9$

We need to write this equation in the slope intercept form to obtain,

$3y = - 2x + 9$

$\Rightarrow \: y = - \frac{2}{3}x + 3$

The slope of this line is

$m_1 = - \frac{2}{3}$
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be

$m_2$

Then
$m_1 \times m_2 = - 1$

$- \frac{2}{3} m_2= - 1$

This implies that,

$m_2 = - 1 \times - \frac{3}{2}$

$m_2 = \frac{3}{2}$

Let the equation of the perpendicular line be,

$y = mx + b$

We substitute the slope to get,

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + b$

Since this line passes through
$(-2,5)$
it must satisfy its equation.

This means that,

$5= \frac{3}{2} ( - 2)+ b$

$5 = - 3 + b$

$5 + 3 = b$

$b = 8$

Wherefore the slope-intercept form is

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 8$

A taxi service charges a 10$ initial fee and an additional $1.25 per minute.

Len [333]

Y= 10 + 1.25x
This is the answer because 10 is the initial fee (you start with it) and 1.25 is added for each minute, with each minute being the variable

Explain how multiplying playing with 6 is like multiplying with 3

mote1985 [20]

6 is only the double of 3
3×2=6

Any number that's multiplied by 6 will be the double of any number multiplied by 3, or vice versa, any number multiplied by 3 will be half of any number multiplied by 6. This is because 6 is a multiple of 3.

Take for example:
850×6=5100 ⇔ 850×(3×2)=5100
