L = length

w = width

r = diagonal, or hypotenuse

In order to solve this, you must use the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

L = w + 9 = a

w = ? = b

r = 10 + w = c

Solve like so:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(w + 9)^2 + w^2 = (10 + w)^2

(w + 9)(w + 9) + w^2 = (10 + w)(10 +w)

w^2 + 18w + 81 + w^2 = w^2 + 20w + 100

2w^2 + 18w + 81 = w^2 + 20w + 100

w^2 + 18w + 81 = 20w + 100

w^2 + 81 = 2w + 100

w^2 - 19 = 2w

2 = w - 19/w

w = 2 + 19/w

w ends up being equal to 5.47 as a decimal answer. The work to solve this equation further would require me to spend another couple hours to present. So if you wish to see how this is done, go to quickmath.com.

What are the slope and y. intercept of the linear function
spayn [35]
Answer = slope -1/2 intercept 1

Using the rise/run method, you can see that the slope is -1/2 (It’s negative because if the line wen the other way, it would be positive)

As for the y-intercept, the line intercepts the line at 1, so the y-intercept is +1.

Hope this helps :)
