Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool has dimension 15 feet by 17 feet, which is in the form of a rectangle.

The area of the pool = length × width

                                   =  17 × 15

                                   = 255 square feet

Area of the pool and cement walkway = 483 square feet

Area of walkway = area of pool and walkway - Area of pool

                            = 483 - 255

                            = 228 square feet

Let's assume that the cement walkway has equal thickness across its perimeter, so that;

the dimension of the pool and the cement walkway = 23 feet × 21 feet

The width of the cement walkway is 21 feet.

The slope of the line below is -3 which is the following is the point - slope from the line ?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

D.  y + 6 = -3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation in point-slope form, you need to use the slope and a point from that line.  The slope is -3 and the point given is (2, -6).

Point-slope form is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁).  Plug in the slope and point.

y - (-6) = -3(x - 2)

y + 6 = -3(x - 2)

Please please help me- thank you
tester [92]

Answer:

y=2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the new line is 2 because that is the opposite of -1/2

To find the equation of the line, plug the points (-2,3) into point-slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1).

y-3=2(x+2)

Multiply (x+2) by 2 and simplify to get the final answer.

y-3=2x+4

y=2x+7
