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 surface area of the cylinder (please help)
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

surface area we can also take it as total surface area

9 is the radius and 5cm is the height . as they asked total surface area we have to take the area of base so tht we can make it as

total surface area = csa of cylinder + area of base

we know that,

2pirh+pir²

pir(2h+r)

pir(2×5+9)

pir(10+9)

pir(19)

22/7×9×19

3762/7

=> 537.42 cm² is the answer.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

c = 8.7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Substitute in the known values for a and b (the order doesn't matter):

(4.8)^2 + (7.3)^2 = c^2

multiply 4.8 times itself, 7.3 times itself:

23.04 + 53.29 = c^2

76.33 = c^2

Now find the square root of both sides of the equation (square root of c^2 = c):

8.736= c

It says round to the nearest tenth, so c = 8.7 inches
