Answer:
Slope= -7
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to use the rise/run method.
Take the point at (1,-2) and count up to (1, 7). Then because it is going left, you count your run over 3 points. Or you could do.

Answer:
a square 175 m on a side
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the sides of the rectangle. Then the perimeter is ...
P = 2(x + y) = 700
x + y = 350 . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 350 -x . . . . . . . . subtract x
The area of the fenced field is ...
A = xy
A = x(350 -x)
This is a quadratic function that has zeros at x = 0 and x = 350. The axis of symmetry is x = (0 +350)/2 = 175. The vertex (maximum area) is on the axis of symmetry, so corresponds to x = 175. The y-value there is ...
y = 350 -x = 350 -175 = 175
That is, the maximum area will be obtained when the fenced area is a square. Each side of the square is 175 m, which is 1/4 of the total length of the fence.
The dimensions of the space are 175 m by 175 m.
