Use the two-point form of an equation of a line:



where and are the coordinates of the given points.

However, please note that you cannot write "the" equation of any line. You can only write "an" equation of a line. In the first place, you could just substitute the values in the point-slope or two-point form and have an equation of the desired line, or you could solve for to put it into slope-intercept form, or you could rearrange it into standard form, namely . Furthermore, for a given , , and , where describes a set of equations with an infinite number of elements, each of which graphs to the same line in .

There are 20 boys and 26 girls, so there are 46 students altogether. There are 20 boys and 18 chess players, but 12 of the chess players are boys so they have already been counted, hence there are 20 boys plus 8 girl chess players in the set of successful outcomes. Divide the possible successes by the total possible choices.

Depends. How many draws? If you don't draw at all, or if you only draw 1 card, then the probability is zero. If you draw 2, but put the first one back before you draw the second one, that has one answer, but if you don't replace your card, you have a different result. If you draw 52 times without replacement, then the probability is 1. Tell us the whole problem and then maybe we can help.

Manipulating and evaluating formulas for acceleration and straight line motion is an algebra topic. Knowing what formulas to use, and since you didn't supply them, quite obviously the point of this question, makes this a physics problem.

The Lateral Surface Area of a right circular cone is given by:



Where is the radius of the base and is the slant height.

But you are given the height which is the measure of the distance from the center of the base to the apex of the cone. You need the slant height which is the measure from a point on the circle that describes the base and the apex. The radius and height form the legs of a right triangle and the slant height is the hypotenuse. Calculate the slant height using Pythagoras. Then plug in to the Lateral Area formula above.

Use polynomial long division to divide by

If you don't recall how to do polynomial long division, review the two pages of information starting at Purple Math Polynomial Long Division

Once you have completed the division, you will have a quadratic trinomial quotient. Factor it. The two integer coefficient factors will be the other two dimensions in terms of .

You are then given that the depth is 6, so that means . Solve for , then substitute that value back into each of the linear factors you derived above.

Send me your answers and I'll let you know whether you did it correctly or not.

Of course it has a "b". b just happens to equal zero in this case so they didn't bother writing it in. But it is there nonetheless. Your equation is linear because the variable is raised to the 1 power. Putting in all of the elements that were left out:



Note that anything raised to the 1 power is just itself.
