Cindy used 17.25 because 15 × .5 = 2.25 and if you add it to 15 ypu get 17.25
The answer is B. y = -1/5x +1/2.
EXPLANATION
First solve for the slope:

After finding the slope, look for the linear equation with the same value of m (parallel equation).
The volume of the shaded region is 1650 cubic feet.
Answer:
143 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 pairs of sides to this shape,
1 pair is the top and bottom pieces, each has an area of 4(3) = 12 cm², so there are 24 cm² from this pair.
the second pair is the front and back pieces, each has an area of
4(8.5) = 34 cm², so there are 68 cm² from this pair.
the third pair are the side pieces, each has an area of
3(8.5) = 25.5 cm², so there are 51 cm² from this pair.
Al together there are 24 + 68 + 51 = 143 cm²
1.55 us gallons.
hope i could help!
