Original:
<span>The width and length of a rectangle are consecutive odd integers
</span>so W = x and L = x + 2
<span>If the length is increased by 5 feet, then new L = x + 2 + 5 = x + 7
</span>
A = L x W
60 = (x + 7) x
60 = x^2 + 7x
x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 12) = 0
x = 5 and x = -12
From here you have x = W = 5 ft and L = x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7 feet
Area of original = 5 x 7 = 35
answer
<span>the area of the original rectangle: </span>35 ft^2
Answer: y = 3x-1
Step-by-step explanation: I was never the best at doing this, but here it goes...
first start with the formula Y2-Y1/X2-X1 for this problem, lets say your Y2 is -1, your Y1 is 5, your X2 is 0, and your X1 is 2, making your equation -1-5/0-2 which equals -6/-2, which can be qritten as 3. this is your slope.
now take the equation Y-Y1 = M (X-X1) m is your slope, which is 3 in this case as stated above. your X1 is2, your Y1 is 5. plug this in and you get
y-5 = 3 (x-2) which you put into slope intercept form, which is y = mx + b
your answer should be y = 3x-1
