Hello!
To find the area of a rectangle you do length * width
You can plug in the values you know
(x - 2) * 5 = 30
Divide both sides by 5
x - 2 = 6
Add 2 to both sides
x = 8
The answer is 8
Hope this helps!
First you divide L+W by 2 and you would get A/2=L+W then you would subtract L and get A/2 -L=W
Answer:
1. y = mx + b
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
2) to find the y intercept you need to see what cross | ( 8,5)
3) 5 = m(8) = b
4) your slope is negative form the why it pointing
5) in this case your slope is 1/3
6) so now you can do your first step now that you have your (y,x) and slope (your solving for (b)
7)
5 = 1/3 (8) + b
5 = 2.6 + b
5 = 2.6
-2.6
2.4 = b
Answer:
y = -x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a linear graph is y = mx + b
you know the m = -1
so now the equation is y = -x + b
from here, what you could do to find b is...
plug (-1, -3) into the equation
1) x = -1, y = -3
2) -3 = -(-1) + b
3) -3 = 1 + b
4) -4 = b
or you can look at the y-intercept which is where the line intersects with the y-axis
it seems to be (0, -4)
so "b" would be equal to -4
this makes the final equation y = -x + (-4) or y = -x - 4
