Answer:

The answer is y=1/2x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y=m(x-x¹)

y-(-9)=1/2(x-(-4)

y+9=1/2x+2

-9 -9

y=1/2x-7

Y = 1/2x + b
Plug in the point :)
-9 = 1/2(-4) + b
-9 = -2 + b
b = -7
Y = 1/2 -7

A rectangular pyramid. The rectangular base has a length of 10 inches and a width of 6 inches. 2 triangular sides have a base of

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Answer:

a) The base of the rectangular pyramid shown has an area of

60 square inches

b) A triangular face with a base of 10 inches has an area of 28 square inches.

c) A triangular face with a base of 5 inches has an area of 17.75 square inches.

d) The total surface area of the pyramid is 151.5 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Solving for question a, we were given the following parameters

A rectangular pyramid. The rectangular base has a length of 10 inches and a width of 6 inches

The formula used to calculate the rectangular base of a rectangular pyramid =

Length × Width

Where :

Length = 10 inches

Width = 6 inches

Rectangular base = 10 inches × 6 inches

= 60 inches²

Hence, the base of the rectangular pyramid shown has an area of 60 square inches

b) Solving for question b, we have the following values given:

2 triangular sides have a base of 10 inches and height of 5.6 inches.

First step would be to solve for one triangular side first.

The area of the one triangular side = (Base × Height) ÷ 2

= (10 inches × 5.6 inches) ÷ 2

= 56inches² ÷ 2

= 28 inches²

Therefore, for the 2 triangular sides, since they have the same base and height, the other side as well would be 28 inches².

A triangular face with a base of 10 inches has an area of 28 square inches.

c) Solving for question c, the following parameters are given:

2 triangular sides have a base of 5 inches and height of 7.1 inches.

We would be to solving for one triangular side first.

The area of the one triangular side = (Base × Height) ÷ 2

= (5 inches × 7.1 inches) ÷ 2

= 35.5 inches² ÷ 2

= 17.75 inches²

Therefore, for the 2 triangular sides, since they have the same base and height, the other side as well would be 17.75 inches².

A triangular face with a base of 5 inches has an area of 17.75 square inches.

d) Solving for d, it is important to note that, a rectangular pyramid has 5 faces and they are: The rectangular base and 4 triangular faces

The formula for the total surface area of the rectangular pyramid is given as

Total Surface Area of the rectangular pyramid = Rectangular Base + Area of Triangular Side A + Area of Triangular Side B + Area of Triangular Side C + Area of Triangular Side D + Area of Triangular Side E

Total Surface Area of the Rectangular Pyramid = 60 inches² + 28 inches² + 28 inches² + 17.75 inches² + 17.75 inches²

Total surface Area of the Rectangular pyramid = 151.5 inches²

The total surface area of the pyramid is 151.5 square inches.

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-4,1) and (2,4). Give your answer in its simplest form.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(-4 , 1)------>( X1, y1)

B(2,4)---------->( x2, y2)

Now,

Gradient:

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$\frac{4 - 1}{2 - ( - 4)}$

$\frac{3}{2 + 4}$

$\frac{3}{6}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

Explain the steps to take when writing a coordinate geometry proof.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Read the problem carefully. For the purposes of this step-by-step geometry proof, use the following example: Given that triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle and that line AD bisects line BC, prove that the resulting triangle ABD is a right triangle.Draw an illustration of the problem. Having a picture in front of you when doing a geometry proof really helps organize your thoughts.Consider what you know about each piece of given information. For example, because ABC is an equilateral triangle, all three sides must be the same length. Furthermore, all three angles must be equal as well. Since a triangle contains 180 degrees, then each angle in an equilateral triangle must measure 60 degrees. Moving on to the other piece of given information, since line AD bisects side BC, that makes line segments CD and DB equal in length.Use the facts established by the given information to generate more facts that are useful to your geometric proof. Since the line segments CD and DB are equal in length, that means the angle CAD must be equal to the angle DAB.Extrapolate from the facts to get closer to the solution. Since angle A is 60 degrees, the smaller angles must be one half of 60, or 30 degrees. Given that angle B is 60 degrees and that angle DAB is 30 degrees, this accounts for 90 degrees of a triangle. The remaining 90 degrees must be contained in the angle BDA. Since a right triangle must contain a 90-degree angle, you have just proven that triangle ABD is a right triangle.Write out the step-by-step geometric proof of the problem in a two-column format. In the left hand column, write a statement and in the right hand column, write the proof of the statement. Repeat this process until you have documented all of the steps in your thinking process that resulted in your solution.
