Let x be the width of the room. I<span>f the width is 3.5 feet less than the length, then the length is x+3.5. The perimeter is x+x+x+3.5+x+3.5=4x+7.
</span>
Since the perimeter is equal to 67, then 4x+7=67, 4x=60, x=60÷4, x=15 ft and x+3.5=15+3.5=18.5 ft.
Answer: the width is 15 ft, the length is 18.5 ft.

Write a rule for the linear function (-4)(16),(0)(0),(4)(-16),(8)(-32)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
The linear rule should look like this y=a*x+b
As the function graph goes through the (0,0) point, the equation 0=a*0+b <=> b=0 must be true.
Now we only need to find a, using one of the points given. With (-4, 16):
16=-4*a <=> a=16/-4 <=> a= -4
So the rule looks the following way:
f(x)= -4*x

What is the equation of the line 2-3y = 18 in slope-intercept form?
il63 [147K]
The person above me got that horrible wrong, do not put that.

You also wrote the question wrong, please be more careful when posting.

x-3y=18

Move x to the other side by subtracting it since it’s positive.

-3y = -x + 18

Divide the whole equation by -3 to find the value of just 1 y.

-3y/-3 = -x/-3 + 18/-3

y = 1/3x -6

Solve 20x+ 5y = 15 for y.
Nesterboy [21]

20x+ 5y = 15

Move 20x to the other side. Sign changes from +20x to -20x

20x-20x+5y=-20x+15

5y=-20x+15

Divide both sides by 5

5y/5=y ( Cross out 5 and 5, divide by 5, 1*1*y=y)

-20/5=-4x

15/5=3

y=-4x+3 or y=3-4x

Answer: y=-4x+3 or y=3-4x

What is the slope of the line through (2,-2)(2,−2)left parenthesis, 2, comma, minus, 2, right parenthesis and (9,3)(9,3)left par
user100 [1]

Answer:

5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points ( 2,-2) and (9,3)

We can find the slope using the slope formula

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

   = ( 3- -2)/( 9-2)

   = ( 3+2)/(9-3)

   = 5/7
