Answer:

length = 10 cm; width = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length 2x and the width 5x. Since perimeter can be calculated by multiplying the sum of the length and width by 2 we can write:

2 * (2x + 5x) = 70

2 * (7x) = 70

7x = 35

x = 5 which means the length is 2 * 5 = 10 and the width is 5 * 5 = 25.

Answer:

y=-3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

y=1/3x+9

slope is 1/3

perpendicular slope = m

(m)(1/3) = -1

m = -3

Point slope form

(y+2)/(x+2)=-3

y+2=-3x-6

y=-3x-8

X^2+10x+19=0 complete the square PLEASE EXPLAIN

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

In the form ax^2+bx+c

a x c should equal two factors of b

However, in this equation

1 x 19 has no factors that = 10

so you must use the Quadratic Formula which is,

x = $\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

so the answer should be

x = $\frac{-10+-\sqrt{10^2-4(1)(19)} }{2(1)}$

x = $\frac{-10+-\sqrt{24} }{2}$

x = $\frac{-10+2\sqrt{6} }{2}$ and x = $\frac{-10-2\sqrt{6} }{2}$

Answer:

Slope = $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a straight line passing two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by the formula,

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the graph attached,

Line is passing through two points (20, 5) and (80, 20),

Therefore, slope of the line will be,

m = $\frac{20-5}{80-20}$

m = $\frac{1}{4}$

The slope is $\frac{1}{4}$ .
