The length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 4

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

length = 10 in, width = 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.

Then, length = (x+4)

Area = 60 in²

Area of a rectangle = width × length

60 = x × (x+4)

60 = x² + 4x

x² + 4x - 60 = 0

Splitting the middle term :-

x² + 10x - 6x - 60 = 0

x (x + 10) - 6 ( x + 10) =0

(x + 10) ( x - 6)

x = -10 (doesn't fulfill our requirement)

x = 6

So, width = 6 in

length = 6+4 = 10 in

Write in slope intercept form an equation of the line that passes through (-2,5),(-1,1)
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

y=-4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following two points: (-2,5) and (-1,1)

We want to write the equation of the line that passes through these two lines in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

First, let's find the slope

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from 2 points is \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

We have everything we need to calculate the slope, but let's label the value of the points to avoid any confusion

x_1=-2\\y_1=5\\x_2=-1\\y_2=1

Now substitute into the formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{1-5}{-1--2}
Simplify

m=\frac{1-5}{-1+2}

Subtract

m=\frac{-4}{1}

Divide

m=-4

Now substitute -4 as m into the equation:

y=-4x+b

Now we need to find b

As the equation passes through both (-2, 5) and (-1, 1), we can use either point to help solve for b.

Taking (-2,5) for example:

Substitute -2 as x and 5 as y:

5=-4(-2)+b

Multiply

5=8+b

Subtract 8 from both sides

-3=b

Substitute -3 as b.

y=-4x-3

Hope this helps!
