Answer:
y=-2/5x
Step-by-step explanation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-2)=-2/5(x-5)
y+2=-2/5(x-5)
y=-2/5x+10/5-2
y=-2/5x+2-2
y=-2/5x
Length (L): w + 3.5
width (w): w
Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w
31 = 2(w + 3.5) + 2(w)
31 = 2w + 7 + 2w
31 = 4w + 7
24 = 4w
6 = w
Length (L): w + 3.5 = (6) + 3.5 = 9.5
Answer: width = 6 inches, length = 9.5 inches
