Answer:

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y = -5x + 79

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept

∵ The slope of the line is -5

∴ m = -5

∵ The form of the equation is y = m x + b

→ Substitute the values of m in the form of the equation

∴ y = -5x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of any point on the line

∵ The line passes through the point (18, -11)

∴ x = 18 and y = -11

∵ -11 = -5(18) + b

∴ -11 = -90 + b

→ Add 90 to both sides to find b

∵ -11 + 90 = -90 + 90 + b

∴ 79 = b

→ Substitute it in the equation

∴ y = -5x + 79

∴ The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y = -5x + 79

that would also be car 1, because in a rotation like that its like you do a spin and come back to the same position, that is a 360 rotation.

Suppose f is an exponential function and:

Nastasia [14]

Answer: a) $b= p(1 + r)^1$ b) $c= p(1 + r)^n$ c) $d= p(1 + r)^m$ d) $b^n=c$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since f is an exponential function.

So, it is expressed as

$f = p(1 + r)^$

Here f is the present value

p is the initial value

r is the rate of growth per time period

t is the time period.

(a) b represents the 1-unit growth factor for f.

$b= p(1 + r)^1$

(b) c represents the n n-unit growth factor for f.

$c= p(1 + r)^n$

$d= p(1 + r)^m$

Write a formula that expresses c in terms of b.

Since

$b=p(1+r)^1\\\\So,\\\\b=p(1+r)^{n\times \frac{1}{n}}\\\\b=(p(1+r)^n)^{\frac{1}{n}}\\\\b=c^{\frac{1}{n}}\\\\b^n=c$

Hence, a) $b= p(1 + r)^1$ b) $c= p(1 + r)^n$ c) $d= p(1 + r)^m$ d) $b^n=c$

Find the circumference and area of a circle with a diameter of 14 inches. Leave your answers in terms of pi. C = 14π; A = 49π. C

Olenka [21]

Given:
diameter = 14 inches
radius = 14 inches / 2 = 7 inches

Circumference of a circle = 2 π r = 2 * π * 7inches = 14 inches * π

Area of a circle = π r² = π * (7in)² = π * 49in²

C = 14π and A = 49π

What is the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 18.8 m and a base with a radius of 19.3 m

12345 [234]

Answer: 7,333.32 m3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Volume of a cone = 1/3 x π x radius^2 x height

Replacing with the values given:

V = 1/3 π (19.3)^2 (18.8) = 7,333.32 m3

The volume of the right circular cone is 7,333.32 cubic meters.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
