Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume  = 198 ft

length * width * height = 198

(x - 1) * (x + 4) * 3 = 198

(x - 1) * (x + 4)  = 198/3

(x - 1) * (x + 4) = 66

x*x + x*4 -1*x - 1*4 = 66   {Use FOIL method to multiply}

x² + 4x - x - 4 = 66

x² + 3x - 4 =66

x² + 3x - 4 - 66 = 0

x² + 3x - 70 = 0

Now factorize.

x² + 10x - 7x - 7*10 = 0

x(x +10) - 7(x + 10 ) = 0

(x + 10)(x - 7) = 0

x - 7 = 0 {x + 10 is ignored because measurement cannot be in negative}

x = 7

length = x - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6ft

Width = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 ft

For the proportional relationship y = -5x, what is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change? Will the graph of the line
NeTakaya
The given proportional relationship is y = -5x.
Therefore the ratio
y/x = -5 = -5/1

If x changes by 1, then y/x = y/1 = -5.
This means that y changes by -5 when x changes by 1.
The ratio of vertical change is -5:1

The standard equation for a straight line is
y = m*x + c
where
m = the slope,
c = the y-intercept.

Therefore the given relationship is a straight line with a negative slope of -5. This means that y decreases as x increases.

Answer: C
-5:1
The graph decreases from left to right.
