Answer:
slope = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
y2 - y1 over x2 - x1
so do
7-3/ 2-4 = your slope
4/-2
Answer:
4.09
Step-by-step explanation
since negatives over power positive numbers
-6.8+(-2.71) - will simplify plus into minus
-6.8 - 2.71 - now just subtract
6.8-2.71=4.09
Answer:
(-
, 0 )
Step-by-step explanation:
to find where the line crosses the x- axis, let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x
5x - 2(0) + 1 = 0
5x - 0 + 1 = 0
5x + 1 = 0 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
5x = - 1 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = - 
the line crosses the x- axis at (-
, 0 ) or ( - 0.2, 0 )
I'm going to assume that the room is a rectangle.
The area of a rectangle is A = lw, where l=length of the rectangle and w=width of the rectangle.
You're given that the length, l = (x+5)ft and the width, w = (x+4)ft. You're also told that the area, A = 600 sq. ft. Plug these values into the equation for the area of a rectangle and FOIL to multiply the two factors:

Now subtract 600 from both sides to get a quadratic equation that's equal to zero. That way you can factor the quadratic to find the roots/solutions of your equation. One of the solutions is the value of x that you would use to find the dimensions of the room:

Now you know that x could be -29 or 20. For dimensions, the value of x must give you a positive value for length and width. That means x can only be 20. Plugging x=20 into your equations for the length and width, you get:
Length = x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 ft.
Width = x + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24 ft.
The dimensions of your room are 25ft (length) by 24ft (width).
