Let L be the length and W be the width. The equations that represents the given conditions are,
 (1)                      L = W + 3
 (2)                    A  = (L - 1) x (W - 1) = 150
                         A = (W + 3 - 1) x (W - 1) = 150
The value of W is 11.8389 in. The width is therefore, 11.8389 in and the length is 14.8389 in.

Find the slope of a line given the following two points: (4, 3) and (5, 2). 1 -1 2 -2
galben [10]
Given two points; (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) the slope is:

m=(y₁-y₂) / (x₁-x₂)      or      m=(y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

In this case:
(4,3)
(5,2)

m=(5-4)/(2-3)=1/-1=-1

Answer: the slope is -1
