Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
For point (x, y) and slope m, the y-intercept can be found from the equation ...
b = y -mx
b = 0 -(-3)(9) = 27
The y-intercept is +27. The corresponding ordered pair is (0, 27).
First let us find the slope between the two points.
Slope = Change in y / Change in x.
(3, 6) and (8, 4) compares to (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)
Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (4 - 6) / (8 - 3) = -2/5
Slope m = -2/5= -0.4
Using y = mx + c, using point (3, 6)
y = -0.4x + c
6 = -0.4*3 + c
6 = -1.2 + c
6 + 1.2 = c
7.2 = c
c = 7.2
Equation = : y = -0.4x +c
y = -0.4x + 7.2
y = -4/10 + 72/10
10y = -4x + 72
5y = -2x + 36
Equation =: 5y = -2x + 36
Hope this explains it.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 192 m²
Perimeter= 56 m
Width = x m
Perimeter = 56
2*(length + width) = 56
Divide the equation by 2
l + x = 56/2
l + x = 28
l = 28 - x
Area = 192 m²
l * w = 192
(28 - x)*x = 192
28x - x*x = 192
0 = 192 - 28x + x²
x² - 28x + 192 = 0
2) Equation is a quadratic equation. The roots of this equation will the dimensions of the rectangular plot.
3) The roots represent the width and length of the rectangle.
x² - 28x +192 = 0
Sum = -28
Product =192
Factors = -16 , -12 {-16 +(-12) = -28 & (-12)*(-16) = 192}
x² - 28x + 192 = 0
x² - 12x - 16x + (-16)*(-12) = 0
x(x -12) - 16(x - 12) = 0
(x - 12)(x -16) =0
x -12 = 0 ; x - 16 = 0
x = 12 ; x = 16
x = 12 ,16
4) Sum of the roots = 12 + 16 = 28
Sum of the roots = half of the perimeter
5) Product of the roots = 12*16 = 192 = area of the rectangle.
Two pints because there are sixteen ounces in a pint and when you divide 32 by 16 you get 2.
