Answer:
The slope is m, and the y-intercept is b.
Step-by-step explanation:
What ever is attached to the x is the slope. The y-intercept is the b because it has a 0 on the x axis and a number on the y axis.
I'm pretty sure it's -4x.
Both lines are parallel, since they have the same slope of 2.
Let S, M, L represent the shortest, mid-length, and longest sides, respectively. You are given three bits of information.
.. S +M +L = 14.5 cm
.. L = 2S
.. L = 6.2 cm
You can use an equation something like this to find the middle-length side.
.. (6.2 cm)/2 +M +6.2 cm = 14.5 cm
.. M +9.3 cm = 14.5 cm . . . . . . . . . . . . . constant terms collected
.. M = 5.2 cm . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 9.3 cm
Now, you know the side lengths are 3.1 cm, 5.2 cm, 6.2 cm.
