A farmer creates a rectangular pen using part of the wall of a barn for one side of the pen and a total of 130 feet of fencing f
Nat2105 [25]

The equation that describes the which gives the area of the pen, A, as a function of x, the length of fence parallel to the barn is A = 130x - x²

<h3>How to find area of a rectangle?</h3>

The pen is rectangular. Therefore,

area of a rectangle = lw

where

  • l = length
  • w = width

Therefore,

perimeter = 2w + l

perimeter = 2w + x

130 = 2w + x

130 - x = 2w

w = 65 - 1/ 2 x

A = xw

A = x(65 - 1/ 2 x)

A = 65x - 1 / 2 x²

Therefore, the function that represents A, the area of the pen is as follows:

A = 130x - x²

Find the slope of the line that contains (6,-4) and (-4,-4)
frez [133]

Answer:y = -4

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the slope by these two points, (6,-4), and (-4,-4), you must use the slope formula:

rise/run, which is this case, is y2-y1 / x2 - x1 <--- this is the slope formula

Let 6 be x2, -4 be x1, y2 be -4, and y1 being -4, plug these numbers in.

-4-(-4) / 6- (-4)

-4 + 4/ 6 +4

0/10 The slope of the line is zero, with a y-axis at -4. We know this because there is a zero in the final result and the y- coordinate between (6,-4) and (-4,-4) do not change in the slightest.

The final answer is then y = -4
