Hello : 
let : x  the lenght    y : the widith
the perimeter is ; 2(x+y)  and the area is : xy
so the system : 2(x+y) =24
                            xy  = 35  
  x+y = 12.....(1)
 xy = 35  ...(2)
 by (1) : y = 12-x
subsct in (2) : (12-x)x = 35
x²-12x+35 = 0
(x-7)(x-5) = 0
x-7=0 or x-5 = 0
x=7 or x=5
if : x=7    y = 12-7 = 5
if : x=5    y = 12-5 =7
but : x<span> <span>><span> y
</span></span></span>conclusion : one solution  (7 , 5).

The dimensions are 7 and 5 inches.

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope through(-3,2), slope = -
arlik [135]
So basycilly slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y intercept
slope=-1
subsiute
y=-1x+b
y=-x+b
so we are given the point (-3,2)
x=-3 and y=2 is one solution
subsitue and solve for b
2=-(-3)+b
2=3+b
subtract 3 from both sides
-1=b

the slopt inercetp form is y=-x-1
