Answer:

y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the slope (m)

(-1,7), and (3,-5)

the formula is: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we can label the points.

x1=-1

y1=7

x2=3

y2=-5

substitute into the equation

m=(-5-7)/(3--1)

m=(-12)/4

m=-3

Now let's use the equation for point-slope form, which is y-y1=m(x-x1)

using the labeled points from above:

y-7=-3(x+1)

do distributive prop

y-7=-3x-3

add 7 to both sides

y=-3x+4

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a cylinder you mutliply radius by height.

r*h = 162

If we know the height is 7.7, substitute it for <em>h.</em>

r*7.7 = 162.

Or:

162 / 7.7

Which gives you 21.03, or 21.
