If it's a perfectly rectangle frame with W = 50 cm & L= 90 cm

So the right diagonal should be √(50² +90²) = √10600 =102.96 cm

as per the calculation the diagonal should have a length of 102.96 cm, but the boss found 100 cm, that means their should be a frame which diagonal equal to 100 cm, short by 2.96 cm, that means short by 2.96/2 = 1.48 cm from the bottom & 1.48 cm from the top (same as well as for the 2nd diagonal)
In this case the boss should be happy

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the points (7, 5)(7, 5) and (−4, −1)(−4, −1) ? y+4=116(
Alex Ar [27]
(7,5)(-4,-1)
slope = (-1-5) / (-4-7) = -6/-11 = 6/11

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 6/11
(-4,-1)...x1 = -4 and y1 = -1
now we sub...pay close attention to ur signs
y - (-1) = 6/11(x - (-4) ...not done yet...
y + 1 = 6/11(x + 4) <===
