Answer:

The answer is 120 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the field (A) is:

A = w · l       (w - width, l - length)

It is known:

A = 12,000 ft²

l = w - 20

So, let's replace this in the formula for the area of the field:

12,000 = w · (w - 20)

12,000 = w² - 20

⇒ w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0

This is quadratic equation. Based on the quadratic formula:

ax² + bx + c = 0      ⇒  

In the equation w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0, a = 1, b = -20, c = -12000

Thus:

So, width w can be either

or

Since, the width cannot be a negative number, the width of the field is 120 feet.

Answer:

L = 120 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

W = L-20

W x L = 12000

(L-20) x L = 12000

L^2 -20L -12000 = 0

(L + 100)(L - 120 ) = 0

L = 120 ft

W = 100 ft

Find the slope of the line that passes through (23, -30) and (-7, 18).
babymother [125]

Answer:

slope = - \frac{8}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (23, - 30) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 7, 18)

m = \frac{18-(-30)}{-7-23} = \frac{18+30}{-30} = \frac{48}{-30} = - \frac{8}{5}

What is the slope of (3,5) and (1,3)
Maksim231197 [3]
(3,5)....x1 = 3 and y1 = 5
(1,3)....x2 = 1 and y2 = 3

slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (3 - 5) / (1 - 3) = -2/-2 = 1 <== slope is 1
