Coordinates (x, y)

Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (-3, -2)

Point (2, -4)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle m = \frac{-4 + 2}{2 + 3}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle m = \frac{-2}{5}$

Answer:

Formula of the slope of the line

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

y2= -1, y1 = 4

x2=5, x1 = -2

m=(-1-4)/(5-(-2)) = -5/7

Answer is D. slope = -5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

b = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

C x D = A x B

15(11x - 91) = 7(2x + 10)

165x - 1365 = 14x + 70

add 1365 to both sides of the equation:

165x = 14x + 1435

subtract 14x from both sides:

151x = 1435

divide both sides by 151:

x = 9.5

b = 2(9.5) + 10 = 29

What is the volume of the composite figure? Explain your work. A complete answer should include how you broke up the figure, whi

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

$15,000\:\mathrm{mm^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The composite figure consists of a square prism and a trapezoidal prism. By adding the volume of each, we obtain the volume of the composite figure.

The volume of the square prism is given by $V=s^2\cdot h$ , where $s$ is the base length and $h$ is the height. Substituting given values, we have: $V=14^2\cdot 30=196\cdot 30=5,880\:\mathrm{mm^3}$

The volume of a trapezoidal prism is given by $V=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot l\cdot h$ , where $b_1$ and $b_2$ are bases of the trapezoid, $l$ is the length of the height of the trapezoid and $h$ is the height. This may look very confusing, but to break it down, we're finding the area of the trapezoid (base) and multiplying it by the height. The area of a trapezoid is given by the average of the bases ( $\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}$ ) multiplied by the trapezoid's height ( $l$ ).
