Slope = -1/2
(-6, 2)
y - 2 = -1/2 (x + 6)
y - 2 = -1/2x - 3
y = -1/2x -1
answer is B
The original are would be 48.
Since we know that the length and width are two consecutive even integers, we can model them as follows:
Width = x
Length = x + 2
This works because no matter what even number is put in for x, the length will also be even.
Now we know if we subtract 3 from the width, we have a new rectangle that gives us an area of 24 inches. Therefore, our new triangle has the following:
Width: x - 3
Length: x + 2
Area: 24
And we can plug this into the equation.
Length* Width = Area
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 24
x^2 - x - 6 = 24
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
This is not a quadratic that we can factor to show the following:
(x - 6)(x + 5) = 0
This gives us the answers of x = 6 and x = -5. Since a side can't be negative, we throw out the x = -5 and the answer is x = 6.
So if we go back to the original rectangle, we know:
Width = x = 6
Length = x + 2 = 8
Area = 6*8 = 48
Part A: As we have learned when given a pair of equations, we must always find a Point of Intersection....or, in other words...the solution of the lines given to us. As we know there can be one solution, in this case we view the graph; see where they intersect, and realize that the solution to these lines (Point of Intersection) is at (4,4).
Thus, your answer.

Answer:
I=$ 198
Step-by-step explanation:
I=PRT
P=1200
T=3
R=5.5% = 0.055
I=1200*0.055*3= 198
