Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you are given the slope m = -6/5 and one point (x1,y1) as (-5,-2)

next use the point-slope formula [y-y1 = m(x-x1) ] and plug in the point and the slope

y-(-2) = -6/5(x-(-2)) ( they are making this tuff with all the minus signs :/ )

y+2 = -6/5(x+2) ( nice looks better, distribute the -6/5 )

y + 2 = -6/5x -12/5 (move the 2 over )

y = -6/5x - 12/5 -2 ( 2 = 10/5 )

y = -6/5x -12/5 - 10/5 (add the fractions )

y = -6/5x -22/5

that's in the form of the slope-intercept now [ y = mx + b ] so you're done :)

Drag each expression to show whether it can be used to find the surface area, volume or neither

Brut [27]

Answer:

Surface area:

$2(12\times 6) + 2(6 \times 8) + 2(8 \times 12)$

$2((12\times 6) + (6 \times 8) + (8 \times 12)$

Volume :

$(12 \times 6 \times 8)$

Neither:

$8(12 \times 6)$

$2(12 \times 6 \times 8)$

$12+6+8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the cuboid:

The Surface area of the cuboid = 2(lb) +2(bh) +2(hl)

Where

l =length of the cuboid

b = Breadth of the cuboid

h = height of the cuboid

So ,

The surface area will be

SA = $2(12\times 6) + 2(6 \times 8) + 2(8 \times 12)$

SA = $2((12\times 6) + (6 \times 8) + (8 \times 12))$

SA = $2(72+48+98)$

SA = $2(216)$

SA = 432

Volumes of the cuboid:

$Volume = length \times breadth \times height$

Volume = $(12 \times 6 \times 8)$

volume = 576

Solve the inequality.

Stells [14]

Answer:

x ≤ - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2x - 1 ≥ 9 ( add 1 to both sides )

- 2x ≥ 10

Divide both sides by - 2, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x ≤ - 5
