You are building a new wooden deck on your house. The old deck had a length of (2x + 1) feet and a width of (3x – 3) feet. You w

ant to make it bigger, so you are going to add x feet to the width. The area of the new deck will be 493 square feet. What is the length and width of the new deck?

Answer:

Length= 17 feet

Width= 29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Original</u>

Length= (2x +1) ft

Width= (3x -3) ft

<u>New deck</u>

Length= (2x +1) ft

Width

= (3x -3 +x) ft

= (4x -3) ft

Area of deck= length ×width

493= (2x +1)(4x -3)

<em>Expand</em><em>:</em>

493= 2x(4x) +2x(-3) +1(4x) +1(-3)

493= 8x² -6x +4x -3

493= 8x² -2x -3

8x² -2x -3 -493= 0

8x² -2x -496= 0

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>throughout</em><em>:</em>

4x² -x -248= 0

<em>Factorise</em><em>:</em>

(x -8)(4x +31)= 0

x -8=0 or 4x +31= 0

x= 8 or 4x= -31 (reject)

Length of new deck

= 2(8) +1

= 16 +1

= 17 ft

Width of new deck

= 4(8) -3

= 32 -3

= 29 ft

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through (5, -4) and has a slope of 34?
Alla [95]
One way to find the slope-intercept form is to plug the given values into point-slope form, y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1}), where x_{1} and y_{1} are the coordinate points and m is the slope. Then, you solve for y.

y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1})   Plug in the values
  y - (-4) = 34 (x - 5)         Fix the minus negative four
     y + 4 = 34 (x - 5)         Use the Distributive Property
     y + 4 = 34x - 170        Subtract 4 from both sides
           y = 34x - 174

The slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through (5, -4) and has a slope of 34 is y = 34x - 174.

write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of -3 and contains the point (4, -5).
Novosadov [1.4K]
You can answer this question by plugging the given values into point-slope form, which is y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1}). M will represent slope and x_{1} and y_{1} will represent the x and y coordinates.

   y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1})   Substitute in the values
y - (-5) = 4 (m - 4)   Cancel out the -(-5)
   y + 5 = 4 (m - 4)   Use the Distributive Property
   y + 5 = 4m - 16    Subtract 5 from both sides
       
         y = 4m - 21
