I believe the slope is -1
The maximum area of a rectangle when given perimeter is simply perimeter/sides.
To get the maximum area, simply divide 160 (perimeter) by 4 (sides in a rectangle) and then square the result:
160/4 = 40
40 x 40 = 1600
The maximum area, when the sides are all of the same length, is <u><em>1600 square yards.

By solving for x you get x=6
If you are -$8000 one month, the next month you need to make 8000 to break even.

<h3>
Answer: 15 hours (choice D)</h3>
================================================
Work Shown:
(6 hours)/(8 trees) = (x hours)/(20 trees)
6/8 = x/20
6*20 = 8*x ... cross multiply
120 = 8x
8x = 120
x = 120/8
x = 15
It takes him 15 hours to plant 20 trees.
