Recall that an equation in slope-intercept form is as follows:
where m is the slope of the line, and (0,b) is the y-intercept.
Substituting m=-6, and b=-1/2 we get:
Simplifying the above result we get:

. It is also given that the area 
. Substituting in the length in terms of width, we have 
. Using the zero product property, 
. Solving these we get the width 
. However, it doesn't make sense for the width to be negative, so the width must be 
. From that we can tell the length 
.
