Negative Slope<span>. </span>If<span> a line has a </span>positive slope<span> (i.e. m > 0 ), then y always increases when x increases and y always decreases when x decreases. Thus, the </span>graph<span> of the line starts at the bottom left and goes towards the top right. Thus, as x increases by 3 , y decreases by 4 , and as x decreases by 3 , y increases by 4 .

Based on the lengths, the cheerleaders' banner is scaled down by a factor of 4.
So, 44 ÷ 4 = 11.
For the perimeter, 156 ÷ 4 is 39.
For the area, you have to do A=bh
(Area = base × height)
The base (length) is 11 inches, multiply that by two to get 22 inches which is the amount for both lengths. If the total perimeter is 39, you have to subtract 22 from that to get the remaining inches which is 17.
17÷2= 8.5 inches. The height is 8.5.
Now you can plug them in
A=bh
A=(11)(8.5)
A=93.5 in^2
The final answer is:
Area = 93.5 in^2
Length = 11 in
Perimeter = 39 in
I hope that helps!
The point is now at (3,0).
