Answer: The length of the rectangle is 13.5 units and the width is 4.5 units

Step-by-step explanation: The perimeter of the rectangle has been given as 36 units. The formula applied to calculate the perimeter is

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

However the details in the question states that the rectangle is three times as long as it is wide. That is, the length is three times it’s width. So if the width is W then the length is 3W.

Therefore, to calculate the perimeter we shall apply the following;

Perimeter = 2(3W + W)

If the perimeter is given as 36 units, then we have;

36 = 2(4W)

We cross multiply and we have

36/2 = 4W

18 = 4W

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

4.5 = W

So the width is calculated as 4.5, hence the length would be 3W which equals 3 x 4.5 and that equals 13.5

Therefore, Length = 13.5 units and Width = 4.5 units

Answer:

A. (0, -2) and (4, 1)

B. Slope (m) = ¾

C. y - 1 = ¾(x - 4)

D. y = ¾x - 2

E. -¾x + y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Two points on the line from the graph are: (0, -2) and (4, 1)

B. The slope can be calculated using two points, (0, -2) and (4, 1):

slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 -(-2)}{4 - 0} = \frac{3}{4}

Slope (m) = ¾

C. Equation in point-slope form is represented as y - b = m(x - a). Where,

(a, b) = any point on the graph.

m = slope.

Substitute (a, b) = (4, 1), and m = ¾ into the point-slope equation, y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y - 1 = ¾(x - 4)

D. Equation in slope-intercept form, can be written as y = mx + b.

Thus, using the equation in (C), rewrite to get the equation in slope-intercept form.

y - 1 = ¾(x - 4)

4(y - 1) = 3(x - 4)

4y - 4 = 3x - 12

4y = 3x - 12 + 4

4y = 3x - 8

y = ¾x - 8/4

y = ¾x - 2

E. Convert the equation in (D) to standard form:

y = ¾x - 2

-¾x + y = -2
