slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (70-52)/(8-1)
= 18/7
=2.6
point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-52 = 2.6(x-1)
distribute
y-52 = 2.6x-2.6
add 52 to each side
y = 2.6x+49.4
y = 2.6x +49
the initial temperature is 49.4 or about 49
and it increases about 2.6 degrees each week
Answer:
Length:8 m
Width:3 m
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
If the perimeter of a rectangle is 22 meters, and the perimeter of a right triangle is 12 meters (the sides of the triangle are half the length of the rectangle, the width of the rectangle, and the hypotenuse is 5 meters). How do you solve for L and W, the dimensions of the rectangle.
step 1
<em>Perimeter of rectangle</em>
we know that
The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

we have

so

Simplify
-----> equation A
step 2
Perimeter of triangle
The perimeter of triangle is equal to


so

Multiply by 2 both sides

----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
The solution is the point (8,3)
see the attached figure
therefore
The dimensions of the rectangle are
Length:8 m
Width:3 m
1 week = 7 days
10 weeks = 10×7 days
= 70 days
if Ellen reads 1 book in a day
Therefore,
1 day = 1 book
70 days = 70×1
= 70 books.
Thus Ellen reads 70 books in 10 weeks.
Hope helps
