My late response (haha): First, you would write a proportion.
Step 1: 2496 over 48 = x over 31
(x represents the area of the land that is not fenced).
Step 2: Cross multiply
2496 times 31 and x times 48
Step 3: Calculate
77376 = 48x
Step 4: Divide both sides by 48
77376/48 = 1612
48x/48 = x
Step 5: Write it as a sentence
The area of the land that is not fenced is 1612 squared meters.
Hope that helped! Good luck! :]

this is the correct answer if you're on usatestprep
Answ
This is false
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of the line we can use the following formula:

1 - (-3)/5 - 1
4 / 4
1
<h3>The slope of the line is equal to 1.</h3>
To find the equation, we can just use slope-intercept form.
We already know the slope, so our current equation is y = x
By knowing the slope, we can apply the slope to our lowest pair of coordinates to find the y value when x = 0.
Subtract 1 from the x and y values of (1, -3)
(0, -4) is our new point, and so we know the y-intercept is -4.
<h3>Our equation for the line is y = x - 4</h3>
