Y = mx + c
7= (-5)(-2)+ c
7= 10 +c
7-10=c
-3=c
Equation of the line: y = -5x-3
Sub in (a, 2)
2= - 5(a)-3
2+3= -5a
5= - 5a
1= - a
A = -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the other side of the rectangle be y. The perimeter of the rectangle is expressed as P = 2(x+y)
Given P = 30ft, on substituting P = 30 into the expression;
30 = 2(x+y)
x+y = 15
y = 15-x
Also since the area of the rectangle is xy;
A = xy
Substitute y = 15-x into the area;
A = x(15-x)
A = 15x-x²
The function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides is A = 15x-x²
The side of length x yields the greatest area when dA/dx = 0
dA/dx = 15-2x
15-2x = 0
-2x = -15
x = -15/-2
x = 7.5 ft
Hence the side length, x that yields the greatest area is 7.5ft.
Since y = 15-x
y = 15-7.5
y = 7.5
Area of the rectangle = 7.5*7.5
Area of the rectangle = 56.25ft²
I would the answer to x is 12
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify to 4x^2 + 12x + 5 = 0 so that all the terms are on one side.
Do a part of the quadratic formula to see.
You only need to do the 
part. If it is negative, that means there are irrational solutions. If it is positive, it has two solutions. If it is 0, it has 1 solution.
It is positive so it has two solutions.
