slope is -2 (-8/4)

point slope formula y=y1=m(x-x1) m slope (x1, y1) point

y-4=-2(x-7)

y=-2x+18

Answer:

y=-2x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the y-value is going down, we can assume that the line is going negative. As the midpoint is (5, 8), you should subtract 2 units from 3 and 4 units from 12 to get (1, 16) and therefore to get to (-1, 20), since the y-intercept is 18, the slope is 2, and it is going negative, your final answer is y=-2x+18.

A)

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\
A=\pi r^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dA}{dt}=\pi \cdot 2r\cfrac{dr}{dt}\implies \cfrac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\cfrac{dr}{dt}\implies \cfrac{\frac{dA}{dt}}{2\pi r}=\cfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\left. \cfrac{dr}{dt} \right|_{r=3000}\implies \cfrac{1200}{2\pi \cdot 3000}=\cfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\$

B)

$\bf A=\pi r^2\qquad A=490000\implies 490000=\pi r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{490000}{\pi }}=r
\\\\\\
\left. \cfrac{dr}{dt} \right|_{r=\sqrt{\frac{490000}{\pi }}}\implies \cfrac{1200}{2\pi \cdot \sqrt{\frac{490000}{\pi }}}=\cfrac{dr}{dt}
