I'm pretty sure it's the second option.
m= -1/3; b= -6
Answer:
Area of the rectangle is given by:

where
A is the area of the rectangle
l is the length of the rectangle
w is the width of the rectangle respectively.
As per the given statement:
Area of the rectangle(A) =
square meters
length of the rectangle(l) = x+8
Substitute these in the given formula we have;



or

Divide both sides by x+8 we have;
meters.
Therefore, the expression represents the width of the rectangle is x-9 meters
The scale factor is 0.25, not 4 in this case. You can determine this by looking at the comparison of the triangles. The first triangle is 4.4 and the second one is 1.1, so the scale factor is determined by looking at what is happening to the first one to result in the second.
0.25 is 1/4. The second hypotenuse is 1/4 the hypotenuse of the first one.
6z - 12 + 4 = 10
6z -8 = 10
6z = 18
z = 3
Answer:
Both -1.5 and -3/2 will be halfway between -2 and -1 on the number line. 3/2 will be halfway between 1 and 2. -4/3 will be between -1.5 and -1.
