Answer:

A. y + 1 = -2(x – 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a line with slope m through point (h, k), the equation is ...

y -k = m(x -h)

Fill in your values of m=-2, h=5, k=-1 and you have ...

y -(-1) = -2(x -5)

y +1 = -2(x -5) . . . . . . simplify. Matches selection A.

Julie is digging a square area in her backyard a for a vegtable garden. If the area is 52 square feet, what is the approximate l

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The correct option will be: (b) 7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the length of the garden is $x$ feet.

As the shape of the garden is like a square, then the area of the garden will be: $(length)^2 = x^2$ feet²

Given that, the area is 52 square feet. So, the equation will be.......

$x^2= 52\\ \\ x=\sqrt{52} = 7.211.... \approx 7$

So, the approximate length of the garden will be 7 feet.
