Answer:
The dimensions of the original rectangle are Length =12cm, Width=8cm
Step-by-step explanation
Let the length of the rectangle be x
Let the width of the rectangle be y
The perimeter of a rectangle is 40cm.
2(x+y)=40
Divide both sides by 2
x+y=20
If the length were doubled(2x) and the width halved(y/2), the perimeter would be increased by 16cm,i.e.(40+16)cm
Therefore:
Divide both sides by 2
From the first equation, x=20-y.
Substitute x=20-y into
Answer:
The equation of the line containing (4,2) and (3,5) in the slope-intercept form will be:
- y=-3x+14
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points
- (4, 2)
- (3, 5)
We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
substituting m=-3 and the point (4, 2) to get the y-intercept i.e. b
2=(-3)4 + b
2 = -12 + b
b = 2+12
b = 14
Now, substituting b=14 and m=-3 in the slope-intercept form to determine the equation of a line in the slope-intercept.
y=(-3)x+(14)
y=-3x+14
Thus, the equation of the line containing (4,2) and (3,5) in the slope-intercept form will be:
- y=-3x+14
