Answer:

20 feet wide, 24 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x - width, y - length.

The perimeter is given by the formula:

P = 2*(width + length) or using x, y

P = 2*(x + y) = 88

x + y = 44

And we know that the ratio between the sides is 5/6:

x/y = 5/6. x is on top because the length is bigger than the width

x = 5y/6

Plug this in the first expression:

y + 5y/6 = 44. Muliply by 6

6y + 5y = 264

11y = 264

y = 264/11 = 24.

So x = 5(24)/6 = 20

Write an equation (a) in slope-intercept form and (b) in standard form for the line passing through (-3,5) and parallel to x + 4

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Standard-form :x + 4y -17=0 }\\$

$\boxed{\sf Slope-intercept\ form :y =\dfrac{-1}{4}x +\dfrac{17}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here a equation of the line is given to us and we need to find out the equation of line which passes through the given point and parallel to the given line , the given equation is ,

$\longrightarrow x + 4y = 7\\$

Firstly convert it into slope intercept form of the line which is y = mx + x , as ;

$\longrightarrow 4y = -x + 7 \\$

$\longrightarrow y =\dfrac{-x}{4}+\dfrac{7}{4}\\$

On comparing it to y = mx + c , we have ,

$\longrightarrow m =\dfrac{-1}{4}\\$

$\longrightarrow c =\dfrac{7}{4}\\$

Now as we know that the slope of two parallel lines is same . Therefore the slope of the parallel line will be ,

$\longrightarrow m_{||)}=\dfrac{-1}{4}\\$

Now we may use point slope form of the line as ,

$\longrightarrow y - y_1 = m(x-x_1) \\$

On substituting the respective values ,

$\longrightarrow y - 5 =\dfrac{-1}{4}\{ x -(-3)\}\\$

$\longrightarrow y -5=\dfrac{-1}{4}(x+3)\\$

$\longrightarrow 4(y -5 ) =-1(x +3) \\$

$\longrightarrow 4y -20 = - x -3 \\$

$\longrightarrow x + 4y -20+3=0\\$

$\longrightarrow \underset{Standard \ Form }{\underbrace{\underline{\underline{ x + 4y -17=0}}}} \\$

Again the equation can be rewritten as ,

$\longrightarrow y - 5 = \dfrac{-1}{4}(x +3) \\$

$\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{-1}{4}x -\dfrac{3}{4}+5 \\$

$\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{-1}{4}x -\dfrac{20-3}{4} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underset{Slope-Intercept\ form }{\underbrace{\underline{\underline{ y =\dfrac{-1}{4}x +\dfrac{17}{4}}}}}\\$
