Slope of any line (m) can be calculated as follows:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
from the given points:
(x1,y1) = (2,-3)
(x2,y2) = (8,4)
substituting in the equation, we can get the slope as follows:
m = (4--3) / (8-2) = (4+3) / (8-2) = 7/6
X - y > 2 at (5, 4)
5 - 4 > 2
1 > 2
(5, 4) is not a solution to this inequality
Answer:
5 inches wider
Step-by-step explanation:
The given area expression factors as ...
x² +2x -15 = (x -3)(x +5)
Apparently, we're to assume that these factors represent length times width, and the factor x-3 corresponds to a length that is 3 inches shorter than the old length (x). Then the width is (x+5), which is 5 inches wider than the old length.
Let the value of the number be represented as x.
Then, write out an equation;
3x=2x+3 <--- Solve for x now
3x-2x=3
x=3
Therefore the number is 3.
Hope I helped :)
