Answer:
"a" must be negative
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope between points (-1, 1) and (1, -1) is a minimum of (-1-1)/(1-(-1)) = -1.
The slope between points (1, -1 and (3, -4) is a maximum of (-4-(-1))/(3-1) = -3/2.
Thus, as x increases, the slope is decreasing. In order for that to be the case, the value of <em>a</em> must satisfy a < 0.

ANSWER: L=13; W=9
--Please read this explanation and this will be much easier for you, it took time to type..
Set up variables first. I will lead through how to get the answer.
First get variables. So, what is Perimeter? Perimeter is like so:
P = 2L + 2W = 44ft
Now instead of using P, we'll continue with
2L + 2W = 44 because this can be used to help answer the question better than P.
"Length of the patio is 5 ft less than twice the width"
So it says "length of the patio", so we put
L =
"5 ft less than twice the width"
L = 2W - 5
Now we know what L is, and we can plug this in to our first equation!
2L + 2W = 44
L = 2W - 5
Multiply by 2...
2L = 4W - 10
Plug in...
4W - 10 (2L see?) + 2W = 44
Rearrange...
4W + 2W - 10 = 44
And solve...
=6W - 10 = 44
=6W = 44 + 10
=6W = 54
=6W/6 = 54/6
=W = 9
Now we have W. Plug this into our other equation.
L = 2W - 5
L = 2*9 - 5
L = 18 - 5
L = 13
The length of the patio is 13 ft and the width of the patio is 9 ft.
Answer:
The sum of the two leg measures equals the hypotenuse.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer choice "The measure of the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the side measures squared" is true because it is the Pythagorean Theorem.
The other two answer choices basically describe what a hypotenuse is.
