The length of the rectangle is 51 inches while the width of the rectangle is 28 inches.

Since Kristin wants to wrap a ribbon around the perimeter of a rectangle, the perimeter of a rectangle P = 2(L + W) where L = length of rectangle and W = width of rectangle.

Given that the perimeter of the rectangle, P = 56 inches and the length of the rectangle, L is five less than twice the width of the rectangle, W we have that

L = 2W - 5

Substituting L into P, we have

P = 2(2W - 5 + W)

P = 2(W - 5)

Since P = 56, we have

2(W - 5) = 56

~Dividing both sides by 2, we have

W - 5 = 56/2

W - 5 = 23

Adding 5 to both sides, we have

W = 23 + 5

W = 28 inches

Substituting W into L, we have

L = 2W - 5

L = 2(28) - 5

L = 56 - 5

L = 51 inches

So, the length of the rectangle is 51 inches while the width of the rectangle is 28 inches.

Draw graphs of the following lines: The line through (-5, 2) having the slope of -3
Ivanshal [37]
What you want to do here is take this information and plug it into point-slope form. any time you're given a point and a slope, you generally want to plug it into this equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1).

in this equation, m is your slope and (x1, y1) is a given point. plug in your info--slope of -3 and (-5, 2).

y - 2 = -3(x + 5)

that is the equation of your line. however, if you want to graph it, this doesn't really make much sense to you. convert it to slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, by solving for y.

y - 2 = -3(x + 5) ... distribute -3
y - 2 = -3x - 15 ... add 2
y = -3x - 13 is your equation.

to graph this, and any other y = mx + b equation, you want to start with your y-intercept if it's present. your y intercept here is -13, which means the line you wasn't to graph crosses the y-axis at y = -13, or (0, -13). put a point there.

after you've plotted that point, you use your slope to graph more. remember that your slope is "rise over run"--you rise up/go down however many units, you run left/right however many units. if your slope is -3, you want to go down 3 units, then go to the right 1 unit. remember that whole numbers have a 1 beneath them as a fraction. -3/1 is your rise over 1.

What is the answer for the problem?
TEA [102]

Answer:

A: I assume that the equation 4x+2 has a greater rate of change.

B: The function F has a greater y intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trend in the table is multiply the x by 3 then add 6.

Your equation would be y = 3x+6 for the table.
