Given:
Two similar rectangles.
To find:
The area of the larger rectangle.
Solution:
Let x be the other side of the larger rectangle.
Corresponding sides of similar figures are always congruent.
The other side of larger rectangle is 2 cm.
We know that, area of rectangle is
So, area of the larger rectangle is
Therefore, the area of the larger rectangle is 8 sq. cm.
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
mx = slope
b = y-intercept
We know the y intercept is 0, so nothing will be written there.
To find the slope of this line, we can use the slope formula.
We'll use the points (1, 0) and (3, 1) to find the slope.
Now we can just plug these values into the equation to find the slope.
1 - 0 / 3 - 1
1 / 2
The slope of the line is 1/2, or 0.5.
The slope-intercept form of this line can be written as:
y = 0.5x
