Answer:
1. x = -37 - 7y
2. x = 7+3y/4
Answer:
B) y = x + 2 and y = -x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of a straight line with x-intercept 'a' and y-intercept 'b' be

The line with positive slope has x-intercept a=-2 and y-intercept b=2.
Its equation is:

Multiply through by 2

Solve for y,

For the line with a negative slope,
the x-intercept is a=-4 and the y-intercept is b=-4
Its equation is

Multiply through by -4

Solve for y

Answer:
a) see below
b) 40x20 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Write down what you know:
- The area of the enclosure is length*width, so

- The length of the fencing is 80 meters, so

Now we have to combine these two equations above, and get rid of y in the process.
First rewrite the second as:

Then substitute for y in the first:

b) To maximize A, find the zero of the first derivative:

So y = (80-40)/2 = 20 meters.
Unfortunately, Tashara, you have not provided enuf info from which to calculate the values of a and b. If you were to set <span>F(x)=x(x+a)(x-b) = to 0, then:
x=0,
x=-a
x=-b
but this doesn't answer your question.
Double check that you have shared all aspects of this question.</span>
3 1/8 means 8 x 3 + 1 = 25/8
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 x 25/8
= 4x25/5x 8
= 100/40
= 5/2
