Answer:
y = -
x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
here m = -
and c = - 8, hence
y = -
x - 8 ← linear equation
I think it would be 1462 yards
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the missing side, write a proportion using side lengths from each similar shape. A proportion is an equation that sets equal two ratios.

Find x by cross multiplying numerator and denominator of each fraction.
4(18) = 12x
72 = 12x
6 = x
w is the width and it is the independent variable. You can pick any positive whole number you want (within reason of course; you can't go to infinity or go beyond some set boundary). Whatever you picked for w, the expression 2w-5 will be dependent on it. So the length is dependent on the width.
For instance, if the width is w = 10 feet, then 2w-5 = 2*10-5 = 20-5 = 15 feet is the length. The choice of 10 feet for the width directly affects the length being 15 feet.
87.5 percent
Reason: 40/40-5/40 is 35/40. Divide 35/40 and you get 0.875. Multiply by a hundred and you get 87.5%
