Answer:
y = -1/3x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is -1/3 because you find the the reciprocal and switch the sign. To find the y intercept you plug in the points to the equation.
5 = -1/3(3) + b
5 = -1 + b
6 = b
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 8)² = 144
Take square root of both sides
(x - 8) = √144
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20
Original lawn is = 20 feet * 20 feet square
14 = 9 - x
First, subtract 9 from both sides.
14 - 9 = (9 - 9) - x
5 = -x
Now divide both sides by -1.
5/-1 = -1/-1x
-5 = x
The answer is x = -5.
