The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the following formula: P = 2W + 2L
To solve this formula for W, the goal is to isolate this variable to one side of the equation such that the width of the rectangle (W) can be solved when given its perimeter (P) and length (L).
P = 2W + 2L
subtract 2L from both sides of the equation
P - 2L = 2W + 2L - 2L
P - 2L = 2W
divide both sides of the equation by 2
(P - 2L)/2 = (2W)/2
(P - 2L)/2 = (2/2)W
(P - 2L)/2 = (1)W
(P - 2L)/2 = W
Thus, given that the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is defined by P = 2W + 2L ,
then its width (W) is given by <span>W = (P - 2L)/2</span>
Answer:
-8 = m-2+b
-2 = m-0+b
4 = m2+b
10 = m4+b
Step-by-step explanation:
You just put them in y = mx+b format
First, we determine that the given equation in this item
is a linear equation. Thus, it should be a straight line. With this, we are
left with the third and fourth choice. Then, we substitute the given data
points to the equation and see if the points satisfy the given.
Choice 3:
<span> (1,3) :
(-5)(1) + (2)(3) = 1 TRUE</span>
<span> (3,8) :
(-5)(3) + 2(8) = 1 TRUE</span>
<span> (-3,-7)
: (-5)(-3) + (2)(-7) = 1 TRUE</span>
Choice 4:
<span> (4,-3) :
(-5)(4) + (2)(-3) ≠ 1 FALSE</span>
<span> (-1,2) : (-5)(-1) + (2)(2) ≠ 1 FALSE</span>
<span> (-4,5) : (-5)(-4) + (2)(5) ≠ 1 FALSE</span>
<span>Thus, the answer is the third choice.</span>
