I am a rectangle, and my area is 80 square inches. My width is 2 inches shorter than my length. What is my perimeter?
pshichka [43]
Area=l*b=l*(l-2)=80(given)

so, l^2 - 2l =80
   l^2 - 2l - 80=0
   l=10 or -8

l=10,b=10-2=8
perimeter=2(l+b)=2(18)=36

the equation of a line is y=-1/2x-2. what is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first line and passes through
Alexxandr [17]
Perpendicular means that the slopes are negartive inverses, aka
slope1 times slope2=-1

y=mx+b
slope=m

y=-1/2x-2
slope=-1/2

we need to find negative inverse
-1/2 times what=-1
answer is 2

y=2x+b
input the point (2,-2) to find b
(x,y)
(2,-2)
-2=2(2)+b
-2=4+b
minus 4 from both sides
-6=b
y=2x-6

the equtaion is y=2x-6
