Answer: The length is 13 inches and the width is 11 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

Let W represent the width of the rectangle.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = LW

The area of the rectangle is 143 square inches. This means that

LW = 143 - - - - - - - - - - - - --1

The rectangle's length is 2 in more than its width. This means that

L = W + 2

Substituting L = W + 2 into equation 1, it becomes

W(W + 2) = 143

W² + 2W - 143 = 0

W² + 13W - 11W - 143 = 0

W(W + 13) - 11(W + 13) = 0

W + 13 = 0 or W - 11 = 0

W = - 13 or W = 11

Since the width cannot be negative, it means that W = 11

L = W + 2 = 11 + 2

L = 13

Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular line to y = 10x - 45 and goes through (1, 1).
Airida [17]

The line y = 10x - 45 is already written in the y = mx+q form. This means that m is the slope. If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are the anti-inverse of each other, i.e. their product is -1.

So, our perpendicular line has a slope of -\frac{1}{10}

Finally, we want a line passing through (1,1) with slope -\frac{1}{10}:

y-1 = -\dfrac{1}{10}(x-1) \iff y = -\dfrac{x}{10} + \dfrac{1}{10}+1 = -\dfrac{x}{10} + \dfrac{11}{10}
