75% of 12 can be represented with the equation 75/100=x/12

Then to solve
75(12)= 100x
900 = 100x
9=x

So the distance from the school to the park is 9 miles.

You may remember that the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2(W+L) where W is the width and L is the length. Suppose that the perime

Answer:

5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(w + l)

P = 34

l = w + 7

34 = 2 (w + w + 7)

34 = 2w + 2w + 14

34 - 14 = 4w

20 = 4w

w = 5 feet

Since l = w + 7

l = 5 + 7

l = 12 feet

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through point (-3, 8) is y = -2/3x + 6. What is the point-

Elena-2011 [213]

$y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so hmmm then we know the slope of that line is -2/3, so we're really looking for the point-slope form of a line with a slope of -2/3 and that passes through (-3 , 8)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{8}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)})\implies y-8=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+3)$
