Answer:
C. 20 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = width
Let y = length
If the length is at least 10 feet longer than the width:
⇒ x + 10 ≤ y
⇒ x ≤ y - 10
If the perimeter is to be no more than 100 ft:
⇒ 2x + 2y ≤ 100
⇒ x + y ≤ 50
⇒ x ≤ 50 - y
Equate the equations for x and solve for y:
⇒ y - 10 = 50 - y
⇒ 2y = 60
⇒ y = 30
Substitute found value of y into one of the inequalities for x:
⇒ x ≤ 30 - 10
⇒ x ≤ 20
Therefore, the maximum possible width of the fence is 20 feet.
Answer:
The slope of the other line is -4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the slope of a line which is perpendicular to the line ;
10x - 8y = -80
The first thing to do here is to write the equation in the standard form for a linear equation.
The standard form is y = mx + c where m refers to the slope and c refers to the y-intercept
Rewriting the equation we have;
8y-80 = 10x
8y = 10x + 80
Now divide the through by 8
We have;
y = 10x/8 + 10
Thus, comparing with y = mx + c , our m here is 10/8
Now for the two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slope would be equals to -1
Let’s say the slopes are m1 and m2
mathematically m1m2 = -1
since m1 = 10/8
10m2/8 = -1
m2 = -8/10
m2 = -4/5
Answer is 138
125+135+85+85+152=582
720-582=138
Answer:
The equation would be set up as y=mx+b
Sometimes the x b and y will be switched around and you would have to subtract add or divide to place the number in slope intercept form
Slope equals 1/4 and y intercept is -3
