Answer:
<em>y = (-4/3)*x + 7</em>
<em />
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of the equation of a line is: <em>y = a*x + b </em>
In the above equation, <em>a </em>is the slope of the line representing the equation in the graph and y is the function of x [y = y(x)]
The given line has a slope of -4/3, so that <em>a = -4/3 </em>
=> The equation of this line has a form as following: <em>y = (-4/3)*x + b (1)</em>
<em />
As the line passes through the point (9; -5) (in which: x = 9; y = -5). Replace x =9 and y = -5 into the equation (1), we have:
<em>y = (-4/3)*x + b</em>
<em>=> -5 = (-4/3)*9 + b </em>
<em>=> -5 = -12 + b </em>
<em>=> b = 7</em>
<em />
So that the equation in point-slope form of the given line is:
<em>y = (-4/3)*x + 7</em>

the given choices, everything can be rounded into nearest tenths.
a. 66.61 – It can be rounded into 66.6
b. 5.055 – it can be rounded into 5.1
c. 4.91 – it can be rounded into 4.9
d. 6.5 – it stays as is.
So everything can be rounded into nearest tenths, however, Letter b. 5.055 is
the only one who were rounded up because the number next to tenths value is 5,
so the rules of rounding must be followed

Answer:
<em>Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation:

The sum of the roots is -b and the product is c. Note the leading coefficient is 1.
We know the perimeter of the rectangular metal plate is 36 dm and its area is 80 dm^2. Being L and W its dimensions, then:
P=2(L+W)=36
A=L.W=80
Note both formulas are closely related to the roots of the quadratic equation, we only need to adjust the data for the perimeter to be exactly the sum of L+W and not double of it.
Thus we use the semi perimeter instead as P/2=L+W=18
The quadratic equation is, then:

Factoring by finding two numbers that add up to 18 and have a product of 80:

The solutions to the equation are:
x=10, x=8
Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.
Answer:
A) length = width +10
B) length * width = 144 OR
B) width = 144 /length putting B) into A)
A) length = 144 / length + 10 then solving for length
A) length^2 = 144 +10 length
A) length^2 -10 length - 144 = 0 then we factor
(length -18) * (length +8) = 0
length = 18 feet
width = 8 feet
