The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m - slope, b - y-intercept)
We have y = -2. It's the slope intercept form where m = 0 and b = -2.
y = -2 → y = 0x - 2
Answer:
3 1/3 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Height of aquarium = 1 3/4 feets
Area of aquarium = 5 5/6 ft²
The length of aquarium = x
Aquarium is shaped in the form of a rectangle :
Area of a rectangle = Length * width
5 5/6 = x * 1 3/4
35/6 = 7x/4
Cross multiply :
7x * 6 = 35 * 4
42x = 140
x = 140 / 42
x = 3 14/42
x = 3 1/3 feets
Hence, Length of the back of aquarium is 3 1/3 feets
