Hey there! The equation for perimeter is 2L x 2W, or L + L + W + W.

If P is 50, and it's W is 10, then we can do 2(10) + 2L = 50. This, simplified, becomes 20 + 2L = 50. Subtract 20 on both sides, and you're left with 30.

The equation now becomes 2L = 30. Divide both sides by 2, and you're left with L = 15.

Answer:

$Each =\pounds 1121$

Step-by-step explanation:

See comment for complete question.

Given

$Total = \pounds 8968$

$Projects = 8$

Required

Determine the amount allotted to each

From the question, we understand that each project gets each allocation.

So, the amount of each is:

$Each =\frac{Total}{Projects}$

$Each =\frac{\pounds 8968}{8}$

$Each =\pounds 1121$

Each project gets £1121

Which is the equation of a line with a slope of -1/3 and a y-intercept at (0,1)?

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The answer is

$\huge \boxed{y = - \frac{1}{3}x + 1 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (0,1) and slope - 1/3

The equation is

$y - 1 = - \frac{1}{3}(x - 0) \\ y - 1 = - \frac{1}{3} x$

We have the final answer as

$y = - \frac{1}{3} x + 1 \\$

Hope this helps you
