Answer:

y = 1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line parallel to the given has the same slope:

y = 1/2x + b

Use the given point to find the y-intercept:

1 = 1/2(-2) + b
1 = -1 + b
b = 1 + 1
b = 2

The line is:

y = 1/2x + 2

A college parking lot is 140 ft long and 90 ft wide. The college wants to increase the area of the lot by 29% by adding strips o

Novay_Z [31]

The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:

length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft

initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2

Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2

width of the strips: x

New length: 140 + x

New width: 90 + x

New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254

Solution of the equation:

12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254

=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0

Use the quadratic formula.

x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =

x = 14.92

The other solution is negative so it is discarded.
