Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the original rectangle.

Let W represent the width of the original rectangle.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of a rectangle is 30 cm. This means that

2(L + W) = 30

Dividing through by 2,

L + W = 15

The area would be LW

If one of its sides is decreased by 3 cm and the other side is increased by 5 cm, the area of the rectangle will decrease by 8 cm2. This means that

(L - 3)(W + 5) = LW - 8

LW + 5L - 3W - 15 = LW - 8

LW - LW + 5L - 3W = - 8 + 15

5L - 3W = 7 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting L = 15 - W into equation 1, it becomes

5(15 - W) - 3W = 7

75 - 5W - 3W = 7

- 5W - 3W = 7 - 75

- 8W = - 68

W = - 68/- 8 = 8.5

L = 15 - W = 15 - 8.5

L = 6.5

The area of the original rectangle is

6.5 × 8.5 = 55.25 cm²

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (−3, 2)?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

4x + 3y = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

calculate the slope of the line using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{-1-3}{3-0} = \frac{-4}{3} = - \frac{4}{3} , then

y = - \frac{4}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 3, 2 ) into the partial equation

2 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 4 = - 2

y = - \frac{4}{3} x - 2 ← equation in slope- intercept form

multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

3y = - 4x - 6 ( add 4x to both sides )

4x + 3y = - 6 ← in standard form
