Answer:

Width = 3 feet

Length = 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x feet.

Length = 2x + 5

Perimeter = 28 feet

2 * ( length + width ) = 28

2 * (2x + 5 + x) = 28

3x + 5 = 28/2 = 14

3x = 14 - 5 = 9

x = 9/3

x = 3

Width = 3 feet

Length = 2*3 + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11 feet

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that passes through the point (x,y), with a y-intercept of b and a slope of m, can be represented by the equation $y = mx + b$ .

If a line has the slope of -0.5, then m=-0.5 and the equation of the line is

$y=-0.5x+b$

This line passes throughthe point (10,1), then the coordinates of this point satisfy the equation of the line:

$1=-0.5\cdot 10+b\\ \\1=-5+b\\ \\b=1+5\\ \\b=6$

and the equation of the line is

$y=-0.5x+6$

Since b=6, the y-intercept of the line is 6.
