The slope of this line is -2
So, 30 is the perimeter. We are told the table is twice as long as it is wide.
So, we have think of 2 numbers, one being twice as big than the other. So, it is a rectangle The two number represents the length and the width. To find the perimeter we add all the lengths and the widths. Since the pool table is a rectangle we have two lengths and two widths.
So,
the tow numbers be 10 and 5. 5 is half of 10 and, when multiplied by 2 it is 10. So just to make sure the numbers 5 and 10 work out lets do a calculation.
So,
10+5+10+5 = 30feet. This proves that the sides are these two numbers.
Answer:
y= (-1)*x
Step-by-step explanation:
lets assume that the line equation is
y=m*x +b
where m is the slope and b the independent variable that intercept Y axis.
then replacing the value of m:
y=(-1)*x + b
after that we have to look for the value of b. Its obtained replaicing the given point (8,-8):
-8 = (-1)*(8) +b
-8 = -8 + b
0 = b
Therefore the equation of the line is:
y= (-1)*x
