Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width=x

Length =6x-4

As we know that in a rectangle

{\boxed{\sf Area=LB}}

  • Substitute the values

\hookrightarrow\sf x (6x-4)=20

\hookrightarrow\sf 6x^2-4x=20

\hookrightarrow\sf 6x^2-4x-20=0

  • Here a=6, b=-4, c=-20.
  • use quadratic formula

\hookrightarrow\sf x=\dfrac {1}{3}+\dfrac {1}{3}\sqrt {31} \quad or \quad \dfrac {1}{3}+\dfrac {-1}{3}\sqrt {31}

Given a point on a line and the equation of a parallel or perpendicular line, write the equation of the line in point-slope form
Arlecino [84]

Answer: y - 5 = 0(x - 1)

==================================================

Explanation:

Recall that point slope form in general is written as such

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where,

m is the slope

(x1,y1) is the point the line goes through

The given equation y = 7 can be written as y = 0x+7. So we see that this line has a slope of m = 0

Plug m = 0 along with the given point (x1,y1) = (1,5) into the point slope equation and we get

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 0(x - 1)

which is the final answer

note: the equation in bold can be rearranged and simplified to get y = 5; however your teacher seems to want the answer in point-slope form, so we leave it as such.
