X+y=11
x is longer than y
x>y
x is 4 less than 4 times y
x=-4+4y
sub back
x+y=11
-4+4y+y=11
-4+5y=11
add 4 to both sides
5y=15
divide both sides by 5
y=3
sub back
x=-4+4y
x=-4+4(3)
x=-4+12
x=8
the pieces are 8ft and 3ft
7/2(-5)-5 is equal 7/-10-5 which is 7/-15
To find the slope of the line, you need two points.
(-2 , 5) and (3 , -5)
5 - (-5) / -2 - 3
10 / -5 = -2
The slope of the line is -2. So your answer is C.
