Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
The height of the sail on a boat is 7 feet less than 3 times the length of its base.
Let the length of the base is x.
ATQ,
Height = (3x-7)
Area of the sail is 68 square feet.
Formula for area is given by :

x = 8 feet and x = -3.73 feet
So, length is 8 feet
Height is 3(8)-7 = 17 feet.
So, its height and the length of the base is 17 feet and 8 feet respectively.
Answer: y=-x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer, 5 and -6 have to be substituted in the place of x in the equation y = -x + b(The slope has to be the same because the line is parallel). -6 = -5 + b, b = -1. This means that the equation is y = -x - 1.
