Say width equals x.
Length = 3x - 4
Solve for x: 72 = 2(3x - 4) + 2x
72=6x-8+2x
80=8x
X=10
So width = 10
Length= 3(10) - 4 = 26

Find the slope of the line passing through the points<br> (-6,-5) and (4,4)

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$\frac{9}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Here, $x_{1}$ is -6, $x_{2}$ is 4, $y_{1}$ is -5, and $y_{2}$ is 4.

$m=\frac{4+5}{4+6}$

$m=\frac{9}{10}$

So, the slope of the line passing through the points (-6,-5) and (4,4) is $\frac{9}{10}$ .

Sammy went on a class trip to the art museum and sketched a scale drawing of a famous mural. The original painting was 72 inches

Margarita [4]

Since the length of the original painting is 108 inches, you take 1/12 and multiply it by 108 and get 9 inches.
the length of Sammy's drawing is 9 inches.
