Answer:

y = 7x/8 - 53/8

Step-by-step explanation:

P(3,-4)

x = -7y/8 + 3

Isolate y and translate to slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

x = -7y/8 + 3

x - 3 = -7y/8

8x - 24 = -7y

y = -8x/7 - 24/7

The slope of the equation is -8/7

The slope of the new equation will be perpendicular to the slope of the given equation which means it is the negative reciprocal.

y = mx + b where m = -1/(-8/7) = 7/8

y = 7x/8 + b

Plug in know values and solve for b:

-4 = 7(3)/8 + b = 21/8 + b

-4 - 21/8 = b

b = -32/8 -21/8 = -53/8

Plug in b into the equation:

y = 7x/8 - 53/8

find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 14.7 ft and a base with a circumference of 13 ft
Doss [256]

Answer:

Volume of the cone =650.06 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the cone= 14.7 feet

Circumference= 13 feet

Radius = 13/2 = 6.5 feet

Volume of the Cone:

         =\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}

As, \pi =\frac{22}{7}=3.14

Putting the values in the formula:

Volume of the cone is :

          =3.14*(6.5*6.5)*\frac{14.7}{3} \\\\=3.14*(6.5*6.5)*4.9\\\\=3.14*42.25*4.9\\\\=3.14*207.03\\\\=650.06feet^3

Volume of the cone is 650.06 cubic feet
