Answer:

w= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I just started by making an educated guess using the values already given. Then I inserted that into the problem to see if it worked.

L= 2w - 5

I used 6 as a random, educated guess for the value of w.

L = 2(6) - 5

L = 12-5

L = 7

Then, multiply L by 2 to account for both side lengths of the rectangle.

7(2)= 14

Subtract that value from the total perimeter to find what the width must equal.

26 - 14 = 12

Divide that answer by 2 since there are two sides for width.

12/2 = 6

I know this was kind of long, but I hope it helps! :)

Which of the following equations represents a line that passes through the points​
Xelga [282]

Answer:

C) I only

Step-by-step explanation:

( -1, -2) and (0,4)

Slope:

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

m=(4+2)/(0+1)

m=6/1

m=6

Slope-intercept:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 2 = 6(x + 1)

y + 2 = 6x + 6

y = 6x + 4

y - 16 = 6(x - 2)

y - 16 = 6x - 12

y = 6x + 4

Consider each equation. is it the equation of the line that is parallel or perpendicular to y=3x+2? Select yes or no for a-c
Mkey [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 2 is in this form with slope m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slope

• The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other

A

y = - \frac{1}{3} x - 8 has slope m = - \frac{1}{3}

3 and - \frac{1}{3} are negative reciprocals

This line is perpendicular to y = 3x + 2

B

y = 3x - 10 has slope m = 3

This line is parallel to y = 3x + 2

C

y = 2x + 4 has slope m = 2

This line is neither parallel nor perpendicular to y = 3x + 2
