Answer: The equation is W^2 + 4W - 96= 0

{Please note that ^2 means raised to the power of 2}

Step-by-step explanation: We have been given hints as to the measurement of the length and width of the rectangle. The length is given as four more than the width. What that means is that whatever is the width, we simply add four to get the measurement of the length. Therefore if the width is W, then the length is W + 4.

That is,

L = W + 4 and

W = W

Also we have the area given as 96.

Remember that the area of a rectangle is given as

Area = L x W.

In this question, the Area is expressed as

Area = (W + 4) x W

96 = W^2 + 4W

Subtract 96 from both sides of the equation and we have

W^2 + 4W - 96 = 0.

We now have a quadratic equation from which we can determine the dimensions of the rectangle

Find the point-slope form <br> through: (4, 3), parallel to y =7/6x + 1
pickupchik [31]

Answer: (y - 3) = 7/6 (x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for point slope form is (y-y₁) = m(x-x₁)

Parallel lines will always have the same slope, so the slope of the new line is still 7/6.

The line goes through point (4, 3),

so x₁ = 4, and y₁ = 3 as points are written as (x, y).

What is the slope of the line through (-2,3) and (1,1)?
son4ous [18]
The slope of the line is -2/3.

This is found by using the equation y2 - y1/x2 - x1. Filling in for each factor, you would have 1-3/1+2 (since subtracting a negative makes it positive). This will give you a final answer of -2/3.

Here is a graph of the full equation of the line.

I hope this helps!
