Solve equation for y.

5x - y = 3

-y = -5x + 3

y = (-5x + 3)/(-1)

y = 5x - 3

The slope for this equation is 5.

The slope of the equation we want is the negative reciprocal of 5.

Let m = slope of equation we want.

m = -1/5

We are given the point (10,4).

Plug both into the point-slope formula.

y - 4 = (-1/5)(x - 10)

y - 4 = (-1/5)x + 2

y = (-1/5)x + 2 + 4

The equation we want is

y = (-1/5)x + 6

Venus and Serena measured a tennis court and found that it was 42ft longer than it was wide and had a perimeter of 228ft. What w

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

length = 78 feet

width = 36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using one variable and an expression, you can set up an equation equal to the perimeter to find the measure of each side:

width = 'w'

length = '42ft longer than it was wide' = w + 42

The general formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2w + 2l

Plugging in the given values and variables:

228 = 2w + 2(w + 42)

Distribute: 228 = 2w + 2w + 84

Combine like terms: 144 = 4w

Divide and solve: 36 = w

w = 36 ft

l = 36 + 42 = 78 ft
