Answer:

y-2=1/3(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(4-2)/(3-(-3))

m=2/(3+3)

m=2/6

simplify

m=1/3

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-2=1/3(x-(-3))

y-2=1/3(x+3)

A sphere with a radius of 5 cm fits inside a box. Every face of the box is tangent to the sphere. What is the ratio of the volum

BARSIC [14]

Volume of box with side length of 5 = 5^3 = 125

Volume of sphere = (4/3)*pi*5^3 = (4/3)pi * 125

Ratio = 125/(4pi/3)*125 = 1/(4pi/3) = 3/(4pi)

Find an equation of the line passing through the pair of points. Write the equation in the form Ax +By = C.

Answer:

5x -y = -37

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:

A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5

B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1

Then the constant C can be found using either point.

5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37

The equation of the line is ...

5x -y = -37

<em>Additional comment</em>

This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.

$\dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\\\\Delta x(y-y_1)=\Delta y(x-x_1)\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\Delta y(x-x_1)-\Delta x(y-y_1)=0\qquad\text{subtract y term}\\\\\Delta y(x) -\Delta x(y) = \Delta y(x_1)-\Delta x(y_1)\qquad\text{Ax+By=C form}$
