The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the following formula: P = 2W + 2L
To solve this formula for W, the goal is to isolate this variable to one side of the equation such that the width of the rectangle (W) can be solved when given its perimeter (P) and length (L).
P = 2W + 2L
subtract 2L from both sides of the equation
P - 2L = 2W + 2L - 2L
P - 2L = 2W
divide both sides of the equation by 2
(P - 2L)/2 = (2W)/2
(P - 2L)/2 = (2/2)W
(P - 2L)/2 = (1)W
(P - 2L)/2 = W
Thus, given that the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is defined by P = 2W + 2L ,
then its width (W) is given by <span>W = (P - 2L)/2</span>
Answer:
D. negative
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's analyze each answer choice.
A. Zero
A line with a zero slope is a horizontal line. The x values change, but the y values stay the same.
B. Undefined
A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line. The x values don't change and the y values vary.
C. Positive
When a line has a positive slope, the line increases from left to right.
D. Negative
When a line has a negative slope, the line decreases from left to right.
When we move from left to right on the graph, the line moves down. Therefore, this line must have a negative slope and D is correct.
13/20,3/5,29/50,14/25,53/100
27 divided by 15 is 1.8, so that should be the correct answer.
