y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pick two points on the line: P_1(-4, 1) and P_2(2, -2). Let's calculate the slope of this line using these points:

m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{-2 - 1}{2 - (-4)} = -\dfrac{1}{2}

With this value of the slope, we can write the general slope-intercept form of the equation as

y = -\frac{1}{2}x + b

To solve for the y-intercept b, let's use either P1 or P2. I'm going to use P2:

-2 = -\frac{1}{2}(2) + b \Rightarrow b = -1

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation is

y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1

Leto [7]
Opposite angles are supplementary, the sum is 180 degrees.
6x+10+81.5=180
Combine like terms:
6x+91.5=180
Subtract 91.5 to both sides:
6x=88.5
Divide 6 to both sides:
x=14.75
The answer is 1) 14.75

What type of polygon would a slice of a hexahedron at a vertex create? Explain. What type of polygon would a slice of an icosahe
harina [27]

Answer:

  • hexahedron: triangle or quadrilateral or pentagon
  • icosahedron: quadrilateral or pentagon

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Hexahedron</u>

A hexahedron has 6 faces. A <em>regular</em> hexahedron is a cube. 3 square faces meet at each vertex.

If the hexahedron is not regular, depending on how those faces are arranged, a slice near a vertex may intersect 3, 4, or 5 faces. The first attachment shows 3- and 4-edges meeting at a vertex. If those two vertices were merged, then there would be 5 edges meeting at the vertex of the resulting pentagonal pyramid.

A slice near a vertex may create a triangle, quadrilateral, or pentagon.

<u>Icosahedron</u>

An icosahedron has 20 faces. The faces of a <em>regular</em> icosahedron are all equilateral triangles. 5 triangles meet at each vertex.

If the icosahedron is not regular, depending on how the faces are arranged, a slice near the vertex may intersect from 3 to 19 faces.

A slice near a vertex may create a polygon of 3 to 19 sides..
