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

Give the equation of the line that is parallel to y=-3x+1 and goes through (-5,-6)
stich3 [128]

Hi there! The answer is y = -3x - 21

Let's set up the equation of the line step by step! First we need to know that we need to set up an equation in slope-intercept form. We get the following:

y = ax + b.
a represents the slope of the line.
b represents the intercept with the y-axis.

Since our new line is parallel to y = -3x + 1, both lines have the same slope. Therefore the slope of our line, which is represented by a, is -3.

y = -3x + b.
We also know that this line goes through the point (-5, -6) and therefore we can plug in these coordinates into our formula.

-6 = -3 × -5 + b
Simplify

-6 = 15 + b
Subtract 15

-21 = b
Switch sides

b = -21
Hence, y = -3x - 21

~ Hope this helps you!
