Theres no picture or problem for 5a.... where is it?
Answer:
Slope: -5
y-Intercept: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation y = mx + b (its the form of a linear equation) the slope is m and the y-intercept is b. Comparing that to the problem, we can see that m = -5 and b = -1. So, the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -1.
We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(width)+2(length). We can multiply the length by 2 to find out how much remaining fencing we have, then divide that number by 2 to find the width.
15.5*2=31
170.5-31=139.5
139.5/2=69.75
A possible width is 69.75 feet.
Since you want 4 right angles, and 2 pairs of opposite sides, you're probably looking for a rectangle.
Checking answer A:
distance from U to V = -2-(-11)=9
distance from U to W =7-(-2)=9 -> same distance !
checking answer B:
distance U-V : -2-(-8)=6
U-W : -2-(-6)=4 -> not the same distance
answer C :
U-V : -2-(-6)=4
U-W : 6-(-2)=8 -> not the same distance
answer D :
U-V : 0-(-2)=2
U-W : 2-(-2)=4 -> not the same distance
Conclusion : answer A
