Answer:

The equation would be y = x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of the line, we first can express the two sets of data as an ordered pair. The two ordered pairs would be (3, 2) and (9, 8). Now that we have these, we can use the slope formula to find the slope.

m (slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (8 - 2)/(9 - 3)

m = 6/6

m = 1

Now that we have the slope, we can use either point and point slope form to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 1(x - 3)

y - 2 = x - 3

y = x - 1

A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide. If its length and width are both
puteri [66]

Answer:

a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide . if both its dimensions are increased 4 m , its area is increaed by 88 m squared make a sketch and find its original dimensions of the original rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = the original length of the original rectangle

Let w = the original width of the original rectangle

From the description of the problem, we can construct the following two equations

l=2*w (Equation #1)

(l+4)*(w+4)=l*w+88 (Equation #2)

Substitute equation #1 into equation #2

(2w+4)*(w+4)=(2w*w)+88

2w^2+4w+8w+16=2w^2+88

collect like terms on the same side of the equation

2w^2+2w^2 +12w+16-88=0

4w^2+12w-72=0

Since 4 is afactor of each term, divide both sides of the equation by 4

w^2+3w-18=0

The quadratic equation can be factored into (w+6)*(w-3)=0

Therefore w=-6 or w=3

w=-6 can be rejected because the length of a rectangle can't be negative so

w=3 and from equation #1 l=2*w=2*3=6

I hope that this helps. The difficult part of the problem probably was to construct equation #1 and to factor the equation after performing all of the arithmetic operations.

Hi,

From the picture you can see how 5x and 4x add up to 90°.

4x + 5x = 90°
9x = 90°
x = 10°

Hope this helps! If my answer was not clear enough or you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistake.
