The area of a rectangle is x2 - 2x - 15 and the length of the rectangle is x + 3. Find the width of the rectangle.

8 0

The area of the triangle could be determined by multiplying the length and the width. Since, we are given the area and the length, to find the width, you divide the area by the length:

w = A ÷ l
w = (x2 - 2x - 15) ÷ (x+3)

What do you have to multiply to (x+3) to yield x2 - 2x - 15? That would be x - 5. Since the sum of -5 and 3 = -2 (middle term) and the their product is -15 (last term).

Hence, the width is (x-5).

The y intercept of the line is ___ , and the slope of the line is ___.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The y-intercept of the line is 1/2, and the slope of the line is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

$2y+2=10x+3$

$2y=10x+3-2$

$2y=10x+1$

$y=\frac{10x+1}{2}$

$y=\frac{10x}{2} +\frac{1}{2}$

$y=5x+\frac{1}{2}$

$y=mx+b$

$m$ is the slope.

$b$ is the y-intercept.

Answer:

(-5 3/4, 1 2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

the line intersects right before the -6, so it’s not -6. yet, it is as close to -6 as you can get which would be -5 3/4. meaning the closes would be the third choice.
