Answer:
y = - 6x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
here m = - 6, hence
y = - 6x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 1, 7) into the partial equation
7 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 7 - 6 = 1
y = - 6x + 1 ← equation of line
Multiple 16 by 1 and then divide by 8 which makes 2.
Multiply 36 by 1 and then divide by 9 which makes 4.
To solve this problem, we have to use the area of both gauze or the dimensions on each gauze and compare them. we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.
<h3>Area of Rectangle</h3>
The area of a rectangle is given as the product between the length and it's width.
Data;
- Length = 9in
- Area = 45in^2
- width = ?
- length 2 = 4in
- width 2 = 3in

In the first gauze, the area is given as 45in^2 and we have value of the length. To find the width of the first gauze can be calculated as

We can see that the width are not equal so is their length.
But if we would truly compare them, the accurate way to do that is by their area
The area of the second gauze is given by

From the above calculations, we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.
