A rectangle has a length that is 9 feet less than four times its width. Its area is 90 square feet

Mathematics

5 0

Answer:

The length of rectangle is 15\ ft

The width of rectangle is 6\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of rectangle

y----> the width of rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

A=xy

A=90\ ft^{2}

so

90=xy -----> equation A

x=4y-9 -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

90=(4y-9)y

4y^{2}-9y-90=0

using a graphing calculator

The solution is

y=6\ ft

Find the value of x

x=4y-9  -----> x=4(6)-9=15\ ft

Find the slope of the line. <br> A: -2/3<br> B: 2/3 <br> C: 3:2<br> D: -3/2
tia_tia [17]

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (look at the picture) (0, 1) and (-2, -2). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-2-1}{-2-0}=\dfrac{-3}{-2}=\boxed{\dfrac{3}{2}}\to\boxed{D}

Sasha can run at an average speed of 9 3/4 min/mi. She runs at this speed for 68 1/4 min.
miv72 [106K]
9 3/4 = 39/4 mi/m

68 1/4 = 273/4 min

39/4 mutiply by 273/4 = 10647 / 16 mi = 665.4 mi

Write an equation for a line parallel to y=3x-3 and passing through the point (4,15)
Andrews [41]

Hello!

To find the equation of a line parallel to y = 3x - 3 and passing through the point (4, 15), we need to know that if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equivalent.

This means that we create a new equation in slope-intercept form, which includes the original slope, which is equal to 3.

In slope-intercept form, we need a y-intercept. So, we would substitute the given ordered pair into the new equation with the same slope and solve.

Remember that slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y = 3x + b (substitute the ordered pair (4, 15))

15 = 3(4) + b (simplify)

15 = 12 + b (subtract 12 from both sides)

3 = b

Therefore, the equation for the line parallel to the line y = 3x - 3, and passing through the point (4, 15) is y = 3x + 3.
