Answer:
The slope is -1
Step-by-step explanation:
It's decreasing which means it's negative and it decreases by 1 every time x increases by 1.
 
        
             
        
        
        
The entire yard is 36x54 so you would draw a rectangle with those measurements, since there is a border of 3 you should draw another rectangle in the middle with measurements 6 less than the original. 30x48
since you are finding the area of the walk, you would find the larger area, then subtract the smaller rectangle 
(36*54)-(30*48)
1944-1440
504 square feet of walk
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The value of y would be 45.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, start with the base form of direct variation. 
y = kx
Now we can use our original values to model the equation and find k. 
35 = k(2.5)
14 = k
Now we can model the equation as:
y = 14x
Now to find y, when x = 3.25, simply put 3.25 into the equation. 
y = 14(3.25)
y = 45.5
