Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello : let A(2,1) B(5,-8)

the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)

(-8-1)/(5-2) = -9/3=-3

an equation is : y=ax+b a is a slope

y = -3x +b

the line through point (2,1) : 1= -(3)(2)+b

b = 7

the equation is : y =-3x+7

Answer:

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the point (2, 1) to the point (5, -8), x (the run) increases by 3 and y (the rise) decreases by 9. Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = -9/3, or m = -3.

Then the equation of the line (in point-slope form) is

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell that the angles and length of the triangles are equal from the marks. For example, angle J has 2 lines on its angle so i looked for the other angle with 2 lines on it which happens to be angle S.

The length of a rectangle is 3 meters more then the width the perimeter of ractangle is 26 meters

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the width is x. If the length is 3 meters more than the width, the the length is x+3.

A rectangle has 4 sides. 2 widths and 2 lengths. If the perimeter is 26 meters, you can plug in your expressions for the width and the length to solve for x.

2(x+3) +2(x)=26

2x+6+2x=26

4x+6=26

4x=20

x=5.

If x=5, that means that your with is 5 meters, and your length is 8 meters (5+3)
