Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is where the line passes through the y-axis
On this graph, we can see this is at the point (0, 2)
Given:
pool length : 10 yards
pool width : 8 yards
Area = 10 yds * 8 yds = 80 yd²
(10 + 2x)(8 + 2x) = 120
10(8 + 2x) + 2x(8+2x) = 120
80 + 20x + 16x + 4x² = 120
4x² + 36x + 80 - 120 = 0
4x² + 36x - 40 = 0
4(x² + 9x - 10) = 0
4(x + 10)(x - 1) = 0
x + 10 = 0
x = -10
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
the width of the deck is 1 yard
Since the two triangles are proportional, there is a scale for going from one triangle to the other
Are there any other things that cost money that are in the equation?
We know that the midpoint is the a point in the center of the line (r). This means that from the midpoint to the endpoint (qr) is half the length of the overall line. This means that 5.7 (the length of qr) units is half the length of the line. Two halves make a whole so 5.7 × 2 = 11.4 units as the length of the entire line qs.
Hope this helps!
