Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
f(x) = -5/3x + 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
if x = 4 ; f(x) = -5
if x = -2 ; f(x) = 5
f(x) = ax + b
-5 = 4a + b <em>(</em><em>1</em><em>)</em><em> </em>
and
5 = -2a + b <em>(</em><em>2</em><em>)</em>
<em>(</em><em>1</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>2</em><em>)</em><em> </em>
2a + 2b = 0
a = -b
<em>(</em><em>1</em><em>)</em><em> </em>-5 = 4a - a
-5 = 3a
a = -5/3

f(x) = -5/3x + 5/3
X = measure of each of the legs
"perimeter is 8 more than 2 times one of the legs" ---> P = 2x+8
P = 28 is the given perimeter
So,
P = 2x+8
28 = 2x+8
2x+8 = 28
2x = 20
x = 10
If x = 10, then the two legs add up to x+x = 10+10 = 20
Leaving P-20 = 28-20 = 8 inches left over for the base
You have the correct answer (choice D, 8 inches) though your steps are a bit confusing at some parts. Such as the part where you wrote 2x = 10 twice. I think I know what you were trying to say.
