The formula of a perimeter of a rectangle:

$P=2(l+w)$

We have:

$P=120\ in\\\\l=w+10$

Substitute

$2(w+10+w)=120\\\\2(2w+10)=120\ \ \ \ |:2\\\\2w+10=60\ \ \ \ |-10\\\\2w=50\ \ \ \ |:2\\\\w=25\\\\l=25+10=35$

<h3>Answer: Length = 35 in, Width = 25 in.</h3>

What is the equation of the function in slope-intercept form?

Rasek [7]

To write this equation, you need use the formula y=mx+b.

m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.

The y intercept is the point where the line touches the y axis. In this case, the y-intercept is 1.

The slope is just rise over run from one coordinate to another. The slope is 2/-1 which could be simplified as -2. The slope just means that we are going up 2 and left 1 to get to a new coordinate.

The equation is y=-2x+1
