Answer:

The shorter piece is 13.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter piece be x inches long. That means the longer piece will be x+9 inches long.

Put the two pieces together and the total is 36 inches:

x + x+9 = 36

Combine like terms.

2x + 9 = 36

Subtract 9 from both sides.

2x = 27

Divide by 2.

x = 13.5

The shorter piece is 13.5 inches. The longer piece is 22.5 inches.

13.5 + 22.5 = 36

Please help and explain why you got it right please

Answer:

y+7 = -3 ( x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find two points on the graph to find the slope

( 1,2) and ( 3,-4)

The slope is given by

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

m = ( -4-2)/(3-1)

    = -6/2

    =-3

We can use the point slope form

y - y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and x1,y1 is a point on the line

We have two choices with a slope of -3

We can either use and x coordinate of -2 or 4

for  -2, the y coordinate is not shown

for 4 , the y coordinate is -7

Using ( 4, -7) and m = -3

y--7 = -3( x- 4)

y+7 = -3 ( x-4)
