Since the dimensions of the length and width are equal, then the board and the picture are squares. The width of the board is the margin surrounding the picture. Let's denote the width to be x. The length of the picture plus the length of the width at both ends should equal the length of the board. So, the equation should be:

10 1/2 in = 8 3/4 + 2x
Solving for x
x = 7/8 inches

How to find the slope of a line on a coordinate plane?
zysi [14]
The slope of a line is the ratio of vertical travel to horizontal travel, whether on a coordinate plane or in the real world. It can be positive or negative.

On an x-y plane, to find the slope of a line you would identify the coordiates of two points on the line, then form the ratio
  slope = (difference of y-coordinates)/(difference of corresponding x-coordinates)

Given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope is computed as
  slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)


The points can be used in the computation in either order and the result will be the same. It is often convenient to have x2 > x1, so the denominator is positive. This can reduce errors in the arithmetic, but it is not required.

If the line is a vertical line, so that all x-values are the same, the slope is said to be "undefined."

On a conventionally drawn coordinate plane, a line with positive slope will go up to the right (/); a line with negative slope will go down to the right (\).
