Answer:
15x + 14y = -18
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (6 - -9)/(-8 - 6) = 15/-14
y = mx + b
6 = -15/14(-8) + b
6 = 60/7 + b
b = -18/7
y = -15/14x - 18/7
15/14x + y = -18/7, multiply everything by 14
15x + 14y = -18
Let the width be : x
length : (2x - 6)
(2x - 6) (x) = 2x square - 6x
2x square - 6x = 140
2x square - 6x - 140 = 0
if you use the cross method or calculator you’ll get :
( x - 10 ) ( x + 7) = 0
x = 10 or x = -7 ( reject because negative )
so we use x = 10.
width = 10
length = 2(10) - 6 = 14
The circumference must be within half the difference of the average of those two numbers:
... |c -28.75| ≤ 0.25 . . . . where c is the circumference in inches
I think a scale factor greater than 1
