Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P=2(L+W)
if given one side and the perimiter
(P/2)-L=W
(P/2)-W=L
Answer: 1350
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the correct question.
Raquel can type an average of 63 words per minute. Rick can type 73 words per minute. how many more words can Rick type than Raquel in 135 minutes? Jared chose B as the correct answer. How did he get that answer? Jared said the answer is 4599. How did he get that answer?
Rick's word per minute= 73
Raquel's word per minute= 63
Ricks word in 135minute= 73×135 = 9855
Raquel's word in 135 minutes=63×135 = 8505
=9855 - 8505
= 1350
Rick can type 1350 more words than Raquel in 135 minutes.
Jared's answer is wrong. He got the answer by multiplying 63 by 73 which gives 4599.
Answer:
a. y = -1/2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer choice can be determined by finding the slope of the line. The slope is the ratio of rise to run.
__
<h3>slope</h3>
The x-intercept is 4 units left of the y-axis. As the line "runs" those 4 units, it "rises" -2 units to intercept the y-axis at -2. The slope of the line is ...
m = rise/run = -2/4 = -1/2
In the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, the slope is the coefficient of x. This information is sufficient to let us choose the first answer choice.
__
<h3>equation</h3>
The slope-intercept equation is ...
y = mx +b . . . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b
We know the slope is -1/2, and the y-intercept is where x=0, at y=-2. Then the equation is ...
y = -1/2x -2 . . . . . matches choice A

<em>Additional comment</em>
When answering multiple-choice questions, you only need to do enough work to tell which answers are <em>not</em> viable.
When we plot the points, we see that the line has negative slope. (eliminates choice C). The slope is shallow, rather than steep (the x-intercept is farther from the origin than the y-intercept), so the magnitude of the slope is less than 1 and choices B and D are eliminated.
