Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

width = x ft

Length = 8x

Area of rectangle = 72 sq.feet

length * width = 72

8x * x = 72

8x² = 72

x² = 72/8

x² = 9 = 3²

x = 3

Width = x = 3 feet

Length = 8x = 8*3 = 24 feet

Perimeter = 2*(length + width)

= 2*(24 + 3) = 2*27 = 54 feet

Solve the equation for a K = 4a + 9ab

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

K/(4+9b) = a

Step-by-step explanation:

K = 4a + 9ab

Factor out a on the right hand side

K = a(4 + 9b)

Divide each side by (4+9b)

K/(4+9b) = a(4 + 9b)/(4+9b)

K/(4+9b) = a

Use slope-intercept form, y = mx + b to find the equation of the line that passes through the points (−6, 1) and (3, 4).

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

y = one-third x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step 1: Find slope <em>m</em>

m = (4 - 1)/(3 + 6)

m = 3/9

m = 1/3

y = 1/3x + b

Step 2: Find <em>b</em>

4 = 1/3(3) + b

4 = 1 + b

b = 3

Step 3: Rewrite

y = 1/3x + 3

Answer:

(-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this in the future:

Counter-clockwise rotations:

90-degree --> (x,y) = (-y,x) ex. (3,2) --> (-2,3)

180-degree --> (x,y) = (-x,-y) ex. (3,2) --> (-3, -2)

270 degree --> (x,y) = (y,-x) ex. (3,2) --> (2, -3)

Clockwise rotations:

90-degree --> (x,y) = (y, -x) ex. (3,2) --> (2, -3)

180-degree --> (x,y) = (-x,-y) ex. (3,2) --> (-3,-2)

270-degree --> (x,y) = (-y, x) ex. (3,2) --> (-2,3)
