Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form:
m - slope
b - y-intercept
The formula of a slope:
We have the points (-3, 1) and (2, -4). Substitute:
Therefore we have the equation of a line
Put the coordinates of the point (-3, 1) to the equation:
<em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>
<h3>Answer: y = -x - 2</h3>
X = 4
Use division divide both sides by 3
3x/3 leaves x
12/3=4
Hope it helps
x=4
Answer:
72 cubic yards
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a prism is given by ...
V = Bh
where B is the area of the base, and h is the distance between bases.
Here, the base is a triangle, so its area is given by ...
A = 1/2bh
where b is the base of the triangle, and h is the height perpendicular to the base.
__
Using these formulas with the dimensions given, we have ...
B = 1/2(8 yd)(3 yd) = 12 yd²
V = (12 yd²)(6 yd) = 72 yd³
The volume of the triangular prism is 72 cubic yards.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Effectively, the volume of a triangular prism is half the volume of a rectangular prism with the same length, width, and height.
