Ones that never intersect
Not sure what the length of the rectangle is but to find perimeter of a rectangle you can use the following formula
2w+2l= perimeter
The reason we multiply both the length and width by two is because there are two ends of the width and two ends of the length.
The other formula that would also work is as follows
w+w+l+l= perimeter
Hope it helps
I assume this is the intersection of two lines, i.e. -1/2y is (-1/2)y. Please tell me if it's really -1/(2y).
(-1/2)y=(1/2)x+5
Multiplying both sides by -2
y = - x - 10
The other equation is
y = 2x + 2
We can equate them to find the meet
y = - x - 10 = 2x + 2
-3x = 12
x = -4
y = 2x + 2 = -6
Check: (-1/2)y=3, (1/2)x+5=3, equal, good
2x+2=2(-4)+2=-6=y, good
Answer: x=-4, y=-6
