Answer:

y = -3x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines so slope of the lines will be equal.

m1 = m2

y = mx + b,

y = -3x + b

substituting y = -1 and x = 2

-1 = -3(2) + b

-1 = -6 + b

therefore, b = -1 + 6

b = 5

by substituting b = +5

therefore, the equation is,

y = -3x + 5

vitfil [10]

Answer:

$c = 16.392\,\frac{USD}{ft^{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the cone shaped roof is:

$A_{s} = \pi\cdot (10\,ft)\cdot (6\,ft)$

$A_{s} \approx 188.496\,ft^{2}$

The cost of roofing per square feet is: (USD stands for US dollar)

$c = \frac{3089.76\,USD}{188.496\,ft^{2}}$

$c = 16.392\,\frac{USD}{ft^{2}}$

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:the number of gallons of water left is 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial amount of water in the container is 4 3/8 gallons. Converting 4 3/8 gallons to improper fraction, it becomes 35/8 gallons of water.

A hole in the container causes 7/8 gallon to leak out. The number of gallons of water left in the container would be

Initial amount - amount that leaked. It becomes

35/8 - 7/8 = 28/8 = 3 4/8 = 3.5 gallons of water
