Hi there! The slope of the line is -2/5.

We can determine the slope of a line by dividing the change of y-coordinates by the change of x-coordinates.

In this situation we have a...
change of x-coordinates of (5 - 0) = 5
change of y-coordinates of (0 - 2) = -2

Therefore, the slope of this line is -2/5

Suppose that a family wants to increase the size of the garden which is currently 16 feet long and 8 feet wide without changing
Cloud [144]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Sides of the garden</u>

  • 16 feet and 8 feet

<u>New dimensions of the garden</u>

  • 16 + 2x and 8 + x

<u>1. The area of the new garden</u>

  • (16 + 2x)(8 + x) =
  • 2x^2 + 32x + 128

<u>2. The difference in area </u>

  • 2x^2 + 32x + 128 - 16*8 =
  • 2x^2 + 32x

<u>3. x= 2 effect on the area</u>

  • 2*2^2 + 32*2 =
  • 8 + 64 =
  • 72 ft²

<u>4. Area difference = 160</u>

  • 2x^2 + 32x = 160
  • x^2 + 16x - 80 = 0
  • Solving we get positive root of 4 ft

<u>5. Area difference = 4 times</u>

  • 2x^2 + 32x = 128*3
  • 2x^2 + 32x - 384 = 0
  • x^2 + 16x - 192= 0
  • Solving we get positive root of 8 ft
