Answer:
We must must transform the standard form equation 3x+6y=5 into a slope-intercept form equation (y=mx+b) to find its slope.
3x+6y=5 (Subtract 3x on both sides.)
6y=−3x+5 (Divide both sides by 6.)

is equal to 2, therefore 2 is the slope of our line.
Since the equation of line passing through the point (1,3), therefore substitute the given point in the equation y=2x+b:
3=(2×1)+b
3=2+b
b=3−2=1
Substitute this value for b in the equation y=2x+b:
y=2x+1
Hence, the equation of the line is y=2x+1.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the area of a rectangle is length * width, and the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. However, we know that the areas are equal, or that
lw = 1/2bh
If we substitute in the measurements that we know, we can solve the following equation for x.
5x + 1 (x) = 1/2(8x)(x+1)
Let's simplify this equation by multiplying.
5x² + x = 4x² + 4x
Now, let's bring all of the variables to one side of the equation.
x² - 3x = 0
Finally, we should factor out the Greatest Common Factor.
x(x-3) = 0
Therefore, by the Zero Product Property, x = 0, 3. But since the measurement of the short side length of the rectangle is x, it cannot be zero. Thus, x = 3.
The question asks for the area of the rectangle, which is <span>5x² + x.

Let's solve this expression for x = 3.
5(3)² + 3
5(9) + 3
45 + 3
48
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 48 square units, or option B.
Answer:
slope = m = 7/5
y-intercept = b = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
y = 7/5 x - 3
slope = m = 7/5
y-intercept = b = -3
