Answer:

  • Equation:   7.5 = ((2b-4) + b)
  • length = 3.6667 ft
  • width = 3.8333 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 2(length+width)

then:

15 = 2(a+b)

a = 2b - 4

a = length

b = width

solve:

15/2 = (a+b)

7.5 = ((2b-4) + b) ⇒ Equation that represents the perimeter of the

                             rectangle)

7.5 = 3b -4

7.5+4 = 3b

11.5 = 3b

b = 11.5/3

b = 3.8333

a = 2b - 4

a = 2*3.8333 - 4

a = 3.6667

Check:

15 = 2(3.8333 + 3.6667)

15 = 2*7.5

What is the slope of this line −4x+7=2y−3
harina [27]
First, change this equation to y-intercept form:
-4x+7=2y-3
2y = -4x+10
y= -2x + 5
The slope is -2, which is the coefficient for x in y-intercept form.
