h = 6
l = 8
w = 6
surface area = 2 (wl +hl +hw) =
2( (6*8) +(6*8)+(6*6)) =
2(48 +48 +36)=
2(132)= 264 square inches
It looks like it goes through (0,-3) and (1,2), so the gradient is (change in y)/(change in x) ->
(-3-2)/(0-1) = 5
So y=5x+b
Then as we know it passes the y axis at (0,-3) so b= -3
So we have y=5x-3
