Answer:

1st graph: slope is -1 and equation is y=-x+5

2nd graph: slope is 2/5 and equation is y=2/5x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b is slope-intercept form.

It's call that because this forn tells us the slope,m, and the y-intercept,b.

The first graph you have identified b as 5 since you said the y-intercept was (0,5).

Now we just find slope by finding rise/run.

(0,5) is marked and we see another point has been marked, I will start at (0,5) go down 2 and right 2. This means rise=-2 and run=2 which means the slope=-2/2 and that reduces to -1.

The equation for first graph is y=-1x+5 or y=-x+5.

So again you have no problem identifying the y-intercept which is b=-3.

Now just count the rise/run to the other point. Starting at y-intercept we have to go up 2 and right 5 to get to the other point so m=2/5.

Remember the slope= rise/run. so for the first graph, there are coordinates (0,5) and (2,3). so the rise = 3-5=-2 and the run=2-0=2 so the slope=-2/2=-1. and since the equation for a line is y=mx+ b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept, the answer is y=-x+5

then just do the same process with the other question to get y=(2/5)x-3

vazorg [7]

Let s represent the short side of the triangle. The long sides of the triangle are each s+1, and the triangle's perimeter is

... s + (s+1) + (s+1) = 3s+2

The length of one side of the square is s-2, and its perimeter is 4 times that, 4(s-2) = 4s-8. The square and triangle have the same perimeter, so

... 3s+2 = 4s-8

... 10 = s . . . . . . . . add 8-3s to both sides

The length of the shorter side of the triange is 10 units.
