Let length of rectangle=x and width be y
.`. area=x*y
now new length=x+12x/10=22x/10
width=y-y/5=4y/5
now .....
new area=new length-new width=22x/10*4y/5
new area=88xy/50

The area of the rectangle will decrease because lets say the length is 2 and the width is 1
originally the area of the rectangle is lxw which is 2x1 is 2. But if we increase the length by 120% which will be 2.4 and increase the width decreased by 20% which is 0.8 then if we multiply them using the formula its 1.92 which decreased

Which expression is equivalent to 2x^2+2x-4/2x^2-4x+2

lord [1]

You need to factor the numerator and denominator...

(2x^2+4x-2x-4)/(2x^2-2x-2x+2)

(2x(x+2)-2(x+2))/(2x(x-1)-2(x-1))

((2x-2)(x+2))/((2x-2)(x-1)) so the (2x-2)s cancel out leaving

(x+2)/(x-1)

Find the equation of a line parallel to y - 5x = 10 that passes through the point (3, 10). (answer in slope-intercept form)

NeX [460]

So, a line parallel to y - 5x = 10, will have the same slope as that equation, so what is that slope anyway? let's solve for "y".

 $\bf y-5x=10\implies y=5x+10\implies y=\stackrel{slope}{5}x\stackrel{y-intercept}{+10}$

alrite, so the slope is 5 then, well, then the parallel line will have the same slope.

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 5 and runs through 3,10.

 $\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ 10}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 5
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-10=5(x-3)
\\\\\\
y-10=5x-15\implies y=5x-5$
