Answer:length=7 feet Width=5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=35

Length=L

Width=L

L+8=3 x w L=3w-8

Area=L x w

35=Lw

35=w(3w-8)

35=3w^2-8w

3w^2-8w-35=0

3w^2+7w-15w-35=0

w(3w+7)-5(3w+7)=0

(w-5)(3w+7)=0

w-5=0 3w+7=0

w=5 3w=-7 w=-7/3

We are only interested in The positive answer which is width =5 feet

substitute w=5 in 35=L X w

35=L x w

35=L x 5

L=35/5

L=7

Length =7 feet

Suppose the line of best fit is being found for some data points that have an r-value of 0.657. If the standard deviation of the
oksian1 [2.3K]
We are given a line with the following data:

r-value = 0.657 (r)
standard deviation of x-coordinates = 2.445 (Sx)
standard deviation of y-coordinates = 9.902 (Sy)

We are asked to find the slope of the line up to 3 decimal places.

To find the slope of the line, based on the data that we have, we can use this formula:

slope, b = r * (Sy / Sx) 

substitute the values to the formula:

b = 0.657 * ( 9.902 / 2.445 )

Solve for the b.

Therefore, the slope of the line is 

b = 2.66078, round off to three decimal places:

b = 2.661 is the slope of the line.

So the x intercepts are going to be at the places where y = 0 so you can just read that off and get (-2,0) and (3,0). Hope this helps :)
