The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Find the measurements (the lenght L and the width W) of an inscribed rectangle under the line y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 3 with the 1st quadrant of the x & y coordinate system such that the area is maximum. Also, find that maximum area. To get full credit, you must draw the picture of the problem and label the length and the width in terms of x and y.

Answer: L = 1; W = 9/4; A = 2.25;

Step-by-step explanation: The rectangle is under a straight line. Area of a rectangle is given by A = L*W. To determine the maximum area:

A = x.y

A = x(-\frac{3}{4}.x + 3)

A = -\frac{3}{4}.x^{2}  + 3x

To maximize, we have to differentiate the equation:

\frac{dA}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(-\frac{3}{4}.x^{2}  + 3x)

\frac{dA}{dx} = -3x + 3

The critical point is:

\frac{dA}{dx} = 0

-3x + 3 = 0

x = 1

Substituing:

y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 3

y = -\frac{3}{4}.1 + 3

y = 9/4

So, the measurements are x = L = 1 and y = W = 9/4

The maximum area is:

A = 1 . 9/4

A = 9/4

A = 2.25

Solve each system by graphing:<br> Y= 1/4x-4 <br> Y= -x+1
AlexFokin [52]
Do you have a graphing calculator?  if yes than all you have to do is hit the y= button in the top left corner and type 1/4x-4 for y1. then you need to hit graph in the top right corner.  repeat this process substituting 1/4x-4 and -x+1

enot [183]
The equation would be y=3x-1

Point Slope Formula: 

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 3(x-2)
y - 5 = 3x - 6
  + 5        + 5
--------------------
y = 3x - 1
