Answer:

$y = 2x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope.

$\frac{ 5 + 1}{1 + 2 } = 2$

so m is 2

$y = 2x + c$

Plug one the equations in to find c.

$- 1 = 2( - 2) + c$

$- 1 = - 4 + c$

$3 = c$

so the equation is

$y = 2x + 3$

What's the total area of a covered box with a length of 4 ft, a width of 3 ft, and a height of 6 ft? A. 108 sq ft B. 84 sq ft C.

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Total surface area of the box = $108 feet^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the box:

$Length(L)= 4 feet\\Width(W)= 3 feet\\Height(H)= 6 feet$

The box is in the shape of a cuboid,

Total surface area of a cuboid:

$= 2(L*W+W*H+H*L)\\ = 2(4*3+3*6+6*4)\\ = 2(12+18+24)\\ =2(54)\\ = 108 feet^2\\$

The Total surface area of the box is $108 feet^2$

Which properties justify the steps taken to solve the system? {2x−4y=−6

GenaCL600 [577]

For this case we have the following system of equations:
2x-4y = -6
3x + 2y = -1

Step 1:
We rewrite equation 2:
2x-4y = -6
6x + 4y = -2

Step 2:
We add both equations:
8x = -8

Step 3:
We clear x:
x = -8/8
x = -1

Step 4:
We use any equation and we clear y:
3x + 2y = -1
2y = -1-3x
y = -1 / 2 - (3/2) * x
y = -1 / 2 - (3/2) * (- 1)
y = -1 / 2 + (3/2)
y = 2/2
y = 1

Answer:
x = -1
y = 1
