I believe the answer is 40
Answer:
A(h) = h²/2 - 6*h + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The garden is rectangular, and area of a rectangle is:
A(r) = L*w
Where L is the length and w is the width of the rectangle
Now if we call "h" the length of the house, we have the following expressions
L = h - 2 and
w = h/2 - 5
The expression for the area f the ectangle as a function of the length of the house is:
A(h) = ( h - 2 )* ( h/2 -5 )
A(h) = h²/2 - 5*h - h + 10
A(h) = h²/2 - 6*h + 10
We are given the first term and the common ratio, this means they belong to a geometric series.
For the given series:

Each term of the geometric series is obtained by multiplying the previous term by common ratio.
So the next terms will be:
-4.5, -6.75, -10.125, -15.1875, -22.78125
The general formula for the G.P would be:

On plotting the series, the result will be like this:
Answer:
So if a line was parallel it would have same slope. You can search up what slope-intercept form means. But if you have an equation like this:
y = mx+b
The slope will be m. Your question is written in the form. 2/5 = m.
The slope is 2/5
The y-intercept is 4/5
