Let L be the length of the rectangle and W be the width. In the problem it is given that L=2W-3. It is also given that the area LW=27. Substituting in the length in terms of width, we have W(2W-3)=27 \\ 2W^2-3W-27=0 \\ (2W-9)(W+3)=0. Using the zero product property, 2W-9=0 \text{ or } W+3=0. Solving these we get the width W=4.5 \text{ or } -3. However, it doesn't make sense for the width to be negative, so the width must be \boxed{4.5 \text{ m}}. From that we can tell the length L=2(4.5)-3=\boxed{6 \text{ m}}.

If a line has a slope of 2 and contains the point (-2, 1), what is its equation in
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m = 2 and (a, b ) = (- 2, 1 ) , then

y - 1 = 2(x - (- 2)) , that is

y - 1 = 2(x + 2)
