W=2L-3
W*L=193
replace W with 2L-3: (2L-3)L=193
2L^2-3L-193=0
Cannot factor
are you sure the numbers are correct?
If it cannot be factored, use the quadratic formula to find out L, then you can find out W
use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal. I don't see an easier way.
y = 1 is a horizontal line which has a slope of 0.
A line perpendicular to it, a vertical line, has an undefined slope. A line parallel to it, also a horizontal line, has a slope of 0.
Learn this, it helps..
HOY -- horizontal line, 0 slope, represented by y = a number
VUX -- vertical line, undefined slope, represented by x = a number.
