The question already gave you the formula in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). You just need to graph it. Let’s begin with the easy step. The first point is the y-intercept (b) which is -5. Think of it as a point (0,-5), so you input -5 on the y-axis of the graph. After that is the slope, which usually is a fraction symbolizing rise over run. In this case, since the slope is a -x, is is -1 over one, therefore it’s down 1 right 1.

The perimeter of a rectangular ink pad is 22 centimeters the area is 28 square centimeters

djverab [1.8K]

Answer

W=7

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter for a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W

The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = LW

where L = length and W = width

P = 22 and A = 28

22 = 2L + 2W

28 = LW

Rewriting the 2nd equation L = 28/W

Substituting this into the first equation

22=2(28/W) + 2W

Reworking the equation to eliminate the denominator

22W = 2(28) + 2W2

22W = 56 + 2W2

and

2W2 - 22W + 56 = 0

Dividing by 2

W2 - 11W + 28 = 0

(W-7)(W-4)

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve each for 0

W = 4, W = 7

then W = 4

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (5,0) and is perpendicular to the line described by y

natta225 [31]

For this case we have to;

We have that an equation in slope-intercept form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m is the slope

b is the cut point with the y axis

Also, by definition, two lines are perpendicular when the product of their slopes is -1. That is: $m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1$

We have the line as data: $y_ {1} = \frac {-5} {2} x + 6$

Then $m_ {1} = \frac {-5} {2}$

We found $m_ {2}$ :

$m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1$

$\frac {-5} {2} * m_ {2} = - 1$

$m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {(\frac {-5} {2})}$

$m_ {2} = \frac {(2) (- 1)} {(- 5) (1)}$

$m_ {2} = \frac {2} {5}$

Thus, $y_ {2} = \frac {2} {5} x_ {2} + b_ {2}$

We must find $b_ {2}$ :

We know that $y_ {2}$ passes through the point $(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) = (5,0)$

We substitute the point in the equation of $y_ {2}$ :

$0 = \frac {2} {5} (5) + b_ {2}\\0 = 2 + b_ {2}\\b_ {2} = - 2$

Thus, $y_ {2} = \frac {2} {5} x_ {2} -2$

Then the equation in slope-intercept for the line that passes through (5,0) and is perpendicular to the line described by $y_ {1} = \frac {-5} {2} x_{1} + 6$ is: $y_ {2} = \frac {2} {5} x_ {2} -2$

Answer:

$y_ {2} = \frac {2} {5} x_ {2} -2$
