In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named the "slope-intercept form".
The perimeter of a rectangle:P = 2 L + 2 W L ( length ) = 5.50 mW ( width ) = 12.0 mP = 2 * 5.50 + 2 * 12.0 = 11 + 24 = 35 mThe area of a rectangle:A = L x W A = 5.50 * 12.0 = 66 m²Answer: 35, 66
