Answer:

C) 7

===========================================

Work Shown:

Use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plug in the given slope we want m = -5/3 and also the coordinates of the points. Then isolate r

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

-5/3 = (2-r)/(r-4)

-5(r-4) = 3(2-r) .... cross multiplying

-5r+20 = 6-3r

-5r+20+5r = 6-3r+5r .... adding 5 to both sides

20 = 6+2r

20-6 = 6+2r-6 ....subtracting 6 from both sides

14 = 2r

2r = 14

2r/2 = 14/2 .... dividing both sides by 2

r = 7

The slope of the line through (4,7) and (7,2) should be -5/3, let's check that

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-7)/(7-4)

m = -5/3

The answer is confirmed

The equation A = x(x-4) describes the area, A, of a rectangular flower garden, where x is the width in feet.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The flower garden width would be 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 12 ft^2 = x(x + 4) becomes:

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0, or (by completing the square) x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4 - 12 = 0

Thus, we have (x + 2)^2 - 16 = 0, or (x + 2)^2 = 16

Taking the square root of both sides yields x + 2 = ±4.

In this context only a positive x value makes sense:  x = 2 + 4  =>  x = 6.

The flower garden width would be 6 ft.  The other dimension would be 6 - 4, or 2, ft.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

1. G IS A DEPENDENT VARIABLE

2.U IS THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

Step-by-step explanation:

G is a dependent variable because its values will rely on the values of U multiplied by 748. A dependent variable in most cases is isolated on one side of an equation ( mostly the left-hand side) and it value is affected by the values selected on the other side of the equation.

U is an independent variable because it stands on its own such that it does not rely on the behavior of another variable to determine its value/characteristic.Characteristic here i mean , U is freely selected without considering the behavior of other variable, thus it does not face any restrictions as compared to G.
