Answer:

The y-intercept of this line is (0, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the slope of this line is -3, we know the general form of its equation is y = -3x + b. Arbitrarily choosing the first point, (-2, 10), and substituting -2 for x and 10 for y, we find the y-intercept as follows:

10 = -3(-2) + b, or

10 = 6 + b, or

b = 4 (Answer C)

The y-intercept of this line is (0, 4)

A swimming pool is 15 by 30 feet and a consistent 5 feet deep. you are painting the walls and floor of the pool. if a gallon can

lukranit [14]

the bottom of the pool is 15 x 30 = 450 sq feet.

you the have 2 walls that are 30 x 5 = 150 x 2 = 300 square feet

then 2 walls that are 15 x 5 = 75 x 2 = 150 square feet

for a total of 450 +300 +150 = 900 square feet

1 can covers 250 sq ft

so 900/250 = 3.6

so you would need 4 cans of paint
