A triangular prism is 31 yards long and has a triangular face with a base of 36 yards and a height of 24 yards. The other two sides of the triangle are each 30 yards. What is the surface area of the triangular prism?

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 2 points given. Take them seriously. They represent actual numbers that don't need to be rounded.

The two points are (2,-2) and (-3,-6)

Now construct a line in point intercept form from these two points.

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

m = (-2 - - 6)/(2 - - 3)

m = 4/5

So far what you know is

y = 0.8 x + b

Use either one of the two points to get b (the y intercept)

x = 2

y = - 2

-2 = 0.8*2 + b

-2 = 1.6 + b             Subtract 1.6 from both sides

-3.6 = b

y = 0.8x - 3.6
