The general line through (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b)=(d-b)(x-a)
Here that's
(1 - - 5)(y - - 5) = (4 - -5)(x - - 5)
6(y+5)=9(x+5)
6y + 30 = 9x + 45
-15 = 9x - 6y
3x - 2y = -5
Answer: 3x - 2y = -5
We could put that in slope intercept form,
2y = 3x + 5
y = (3/2) x + 5/2
Answer: y = (3/2) x + 5/2
16 it is as easy as multiplying
23.4375 or 24.0 is the bacteria count after 6 hours.
Multiplying by 2 and then adding 10 145*2=290+10=300
300*2=600+10=610
610*2=1220 + 10=1230
x=2 y=10
x+y=12
Original:
<span>The width and length of a rectangle are consecutive odd integers
</span>so W = x and L = x + 2
<span>If the length is increased by 5 feet, then new L = x + 2 + 5 = x + 7
</span>
A = L x W
60 = (x + 7) x
60 = x^2 + 7x
x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 12) = 0
x = 5 and x = -12
From here you have x = W = 5 ft and L = x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7 feet
Area of original = 5 x 7 = 35
answer
<span>the area of the original rectangle: </span>35 ft^2
