Answer:

x = -63

Step-by-step explanation:

If the points A(x,2), B(-3, -4), and C(7, -5) are collinear, the line that passes B and C, also passes A.

The line passes B and C has the form of y = ax + b

=> -4  = a(-3) + b

    -5  = a(7) + b

=> Subtraction 1st equation from 2nd equation, we have:

    -1 = 10a

=> a = -1/10

=> b = -4 + 3(-1/0) = -43/10

=> This line has form of y = (-1/10)x -43/10

This line passes A(x, 2)

=> 2 = (-1/10)x - 43/10

=> 2 + 43/10 = (-1/10)x

=> 63/10 = (-1/10)x

=> x = -63

Hope this helps!

A child’s wading pool has a diameter of 5 feet and a height of 2 feet. How much water would it take to fill the pool?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

12.5π or ≈39.27

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the volume is V=πr^2*d (where h is the height and r is  the radius).

Plug in the values: V=π(2.5)^2*2 (Diameter=2*Radius)

Solve: V=6.25π*2

V=12.5π

V≈39.27
