Area of the rectangular yard = 96 square feet
Let us assume the length of the yard = x feet
Width of the yard = x - 4 feet
Then
Area of the yard = length * width
96 = x(x - 4)
96 = x^2 - 4x
x^2 - 4x - 96 = 0
x^2 - 12x + 8x - 96 = 0
x(x - 12) +8(x - 12) = 0
(x - 12)(x + 8) = 0
As the value of length cannot be negative so
x - 12 = 0
x = 12
So
Length of the yard = 12 feet
Width of the yard = x - 4 feet
                             = 12 - 4 feet
                             = 8 feet
Then
Perimeter of the yard = 2 (length + width)
                                   = 2(12 + 8)
                                   = 2 * 20 feet
                                   = 40 feet.
So the perimeter of the yard  is 40 feet.

(10-P) Help please, thanks.

The formula of linear equation is:
y1  -  y2 = m(x1  -  x2)
Where
x1 and x2: x coordinates(-1 and 3)
y1 and y2: y coordinates(-2 and 10)
m is the slope

We can then choose a point from the line to find the eqaution.

We need to first find the slope:
\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}
In this case:
\frac{ - 2 - 10}{ - 1 - 3}   \\ =  \frac{ - 12}{ - 4}  \\  = 3

In this case, as the y2 is given as 1,put (-1,-2) , and the slope(3 )into the eqaution :

y-(-2) = 3(x-(-1))
y+2 = 3(x+1)

Therefore
y + 2 = 3x + 1
is the answer.

Hope it helps!
