For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:
m: It is the slope of the line
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
We have the following points through which the line passes:

We find the slope of the line:

Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:

We substitute one of the points and find b:

Finally, the equation is:

Answer:

The slope is 1/2.
You can figure it out using the rise over run method
Answer:
P=40
a + b + x = P
a = 3x
b = x + 5
substitute for b & y
3x + (x+5) + x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
longest section 1 = a
mid length section 2 = b
shortest section 3 = x
P=40
a + b + x = P
a = 3x
b = x + 5
substitute for b & y
3x + (x+5) + x = 40
5x + 5 = 40
5x = 35
x = 7
b = 12
a = 21
