Slope denoted as m can be calculated from 2 diff. points using the formula:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = 1 - 12 / 25 - 0 = -11 / 25
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. Using a point,
12 = -11/25(0) + b
12 = b
y-intercept is 12.
To summarize, slope is -11/25, negative because decreasing trend and y-intercept is 12.
Well, you should probably check with somebody else but i had got 26.5 or 26 1/2. I'm not sure if that is correct due to it saying to use quadratic equations. Sorry
I am assuming you wrote the problem wrong. Is it a^2?
A^2 -4A-21=0
(A-7)(A+3)=0
A=7 A=-3, ignore the negative number because it doesn't make sense if you plug in for a.
length=a+3=7+3=10
Width=7=a
