Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
at x=0 y= 5
at x=3 y= 4
y=ax+b
b= 5
4=3x+5
3x= -1
x= -1/3

Answer: She needed 144 square feet of carpet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Maria is buying new carpet. Her bedroom is in the shape of a square.
The length of each side is 12 feet.
We know that the area of square = 
So , the area of the bedroom =
[which is an exponential expression]
Simplify it
The area of the bedroom = 
Also, the carpet she needed = Area of the bedroom.
Thus , She needed 144 square feet of carpet.
Answer:
A circle is shown. Secants P N and L N intersect at point N outside of the circle. Secant P N intersects the circle at point Q and secant L N intersects the circle at point M. The length of P N is 32, the length of Q N is x, the length of L M is 22, and the length of M N is 14.
In the diagram, the length of the external portion of the secant segment PN is <u>X</u>
The length of the entire secant segment LN is <u>36</u>.
The value of x is <u>15.74</u>

Solution:
Given equation:

Add
on both sides.

-------- (1)
(given) -------- (2)
Equate (1) and (2).

Add
on both sides.


Add 5 on both sides.


Divide by 5 on both sides, we get

Taking square root on both sides, we get

Substitute
in (1).
