Find the equation of the line passing through the points (2, -1) and (-6, -5)

Mathematics
1 answer:
blagie [28]3 years ago
7 0

Step 1: Find the slope

Point 1 = (2, -1)

Point 2 = (-6, -5)

m = (-5 - - 1) / (-6 - 2) = (-5 + 1) / (-6 - 2) = -4 / -8 = 1/2

m = 1/2

Step 2: Find the y-intercept

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

-m is the slope

-b is the y-intercept

---Plug in whichever point you want as well as the slope and solve for b

Point = (2, -1)

-1 = (1/2)(2) + b

-1 = 1 + b

b = -2

Step 3: Form the equation

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m = 1/2

b = -2

y = 1/2x - 2

Hope this helps!! :)

Use the net as an aid to compute the surface area of the triangular prism. A) 112 m2 B) 136 m2 C) 160 m2 D) 184 m2
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

136 m2 Option c

Step-by-step explanation:

136 m2

1 base = 6 × 7 = 42

2 sides = 2(7 × 5) = 70

2 triangles = 2(6 × 4

2

) = 24

SA = 42 + 70 + 24 = 136 m2

PLEASE HELP THIS IS DUE IN 1 HOUR!! I CAN GIVE BRAINLIEST! ILL GIVE 20 POINTS TOO!

Answer:

The radius of the inner circle is 14 ft. Since the outer circle is 3 ft more than the inner circle, its radius is 17 ft. The circumference formula is 2(pi)radius (or 2(22/7)17 in this case). The circumference of the outer circle is 106.85 ft (or 106.9 if rounding). To find the difference, you would subtract the smallest FROM the greatest:

106.85 - 88 = 18.85 ft (or 18.9 if rounding)
