➷ The perimeter for a rectangle is

(length x 2) + (width/height x 2)

Substitute in the values you have:

38 = (length x 2) + (14 x 2)

38 = length x 2 + 28

Subtract 28 from both sides:

10 = length x 2

Divide by 2:

length = 5

Height is 5

When 14 ×2=28

While perimeter =38

Therefore the sides =38-28=10

10÷2 is one side

LaTanya leaves her house at 12:30pm and bikes at 12 mi/h to marta’s House she stays at marta’s House for 90mij both girls walk b

babymother [125]

Answer:

2.9 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The time difference t between 12.30pm and 3.30pm is 3h.

Let the distance to Marat's house be s.

The equation to calculate velocity v is given by:

v = distance / time.

Now you can write an equation for the time difference t and use the two velocities and the 90 min(= 1.5h) she stays:

3 = s/12 + 1.5 + s/2.3

Solve this equation for s:

(1/12 + 10/23)* s = 1.5

s = 2.9

Why is the equation y-y1=m(x-x1) called the point-slope form?

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The equation of the line with slope m = 2 and passing through the point (1, 1) will be:

$y = 2x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the point-slope form of the line equation is

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

where

m is the slope of the line

(x₁, y₁) is the point

The formula $y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$ is termed as the point-slope form of the line equation because if we know one point on a certain line and the slope of that line, then we can easily get the line equation with this formula and, hence, determine all other points on the line.

For example, if we are given the point (1, 1) and slope m = 2

Then substituting the values m = 2 and the point (1, 2)

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$y - 2 = 2(x-1)$
