Answer: 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B) 13/8
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to understand what a terminating decimal is: It is a decimal that has a finite number of decimal values that are not zero, meaning that its decimal values end at some point
Let's go through our possible answers with trial and error:
A) 8/9
8/9 = 0.888888888888...9 (Incorrect)
B) 13/8
13/8 = 1.625 (Correct)
C) 4/3
4/3 = 1.3333333333...4 (Incorrect)
D) 6/11
6/11 = 0.545454545454...54 (Incorrect
13/8 is our answer because in decimal form it is a terminating decimal.
First, you want to establish your equations.
L=7W-2
P=60
This is what we already know. To find the width, we have to plug in what we know into P=2(L+W), our equation to find perimeter.
60=2(7W-2+W)
Now that we only have 1 variable, we can solve.
First, distribute the 2.
60=14W-4+2W
Next, combine like terms.
60=16W-4
Then, add four to both sides.
64=16W
Lastly, divide both sides by 16
W=4
To find the length, we plug in our width.
7W-2
7(4)-2
28-2
L=26
In order to find a slope, there is an equation:
Y2-Y1/X2-X1
X1=2
X2=3
Y1=5
Y2=0
0-5= -5
3-2=1
Since slope is written as Y/X, slope would be-5/1 or simply, -5.
Now, we need to find the y-intercept.
To do this, shift the original equation:
Original equation: y=-5x+b
Shifted equation: b=y+5x
Now, plug in one of the points.
Let's use (2,5)
b=5+5(2)
5*2=10
10+5=15
y-intercept=15
So, the full equation of the line would be:
y=-5x+15
