Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is change in y over change in x, in this case it's $(2-(-6))/(5-1) = 8/4 = 2$

Patrick has just finished building a pen for his new dog. The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long. He also built a doghouse to p

zalisa [80]

General Idea:

(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find

(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem

(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.

(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE

Applying the concept:

Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse

Statement 1: "The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

$Length \; of\; the \; pen = x\\ Width \; of\; the\; pen=x+3$

------

Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"

$Area \; of\; the\; Dog \; house=y\\ Perimeter \; of\; Dog\; house=y$

------

Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."

$Area \; of \; the\; Pen - Area \;of \;the\;Dog \;House=\;Space\;inside\;Pen\\ \\ x \cdot (x+3)-y=178\\ Distributing \;x\;in\;the\;left\;side\;of\;the\;equation\\ \\ x^2+3x-y=178\Rightarrow\; 1^{st}\; Equation\\$

------

Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."

$Perimeter\; of\; the\; Pen=3\; \cdot \; Perimeter\; of\; the\; Dog\; House\\ \\ 2(x \; + \; x+3)=3 \cdot y\\ Combine\; like\; terms\; inside\; the\; parenthesis\\ \\ 2(2x+3)=3y\\ Distribute\; 2\; in\; the\; left\; side\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6=3y\\ Subtract \; 6\; and \; 3y\; on\; both\; sides\; of\; the\; equation\\ \\ 4x+6-3y-6=3y-3y-6\\ Combine\; like\; terms\\ \\ 4x-3y=-6 \Rightarrow \; \; 2^{nd}\; Equation\\$

Conclusion:

The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.

$178=x^2+3x-y\\ \\ -6=4x-3y$

Which is the graph of the linear equality 2x-3y<12

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The graph below shows the answer to

2x - 3y < 12

Also shown as

-3y < -2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can rearrange the inequality by subtracting 2x from both sides to isolate the y.

You now have -3y < 12 -2x

which can be put into the standard linear equation form of

-3y < -2x + 12

Then you divide both sides by -3 to get singular value of y, which is something like

-3/-3y < -2/-3x + 12/-3

which is

y > 2/3x -4

Note: I switched direction of the inequality because you are dividing both sides by a negative value.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point 4, -6 and has a slope of -3

zheka24 [161]

Y = mx + b. Use this equation for most linear functions. Enter the information that is given to you.
$- 6 = - 3(4) + b$
Multiply the -3 and 4 to get 12.
$-6 = - 12 + b$
Now divide the -12 from both sides.
$\frac{ - 6}{ - 12} = \frac{ - 12}{ - 12} + b$
-12 cancels out on the right side and your left with
$- \frac {1}{2} = b$
Now re-enter the info back into the formula.
$y = - 3x - \frac{1}{2}$
Then you've got your formula
