3. Ray purchases a paperweight in the shape of a rectangular pyramid and wants to cover it in decorative paper. He creates the net of the figure,
Ray only wants to cover the lateral area of his paper weight. how many square inches of paper will he need round your number to the nearest square inch.

step-by-step explanation:

if you meant, "on the way from (3, 2) to (3, 14):

x does not change; y increases by 12.

ensure that you have copied down this problem correctly.   .

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
