y + 8 = 1/3 (x+6)

With the given information, we can use the point-slope formula, , to write the equation of the line. Substitute values for the , , and in the formula to do so.

The represents the slope, so substitute in its place. The and represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, so substitute -6 for and -8 for . This gives the following answer and equation (just make sure to convert the double negatives into positives:

Find the dimensions of an American football field. The length is 200 ft more than the width, and the perimeter is 1,040 ft. Find

natka813 [3]

Answer:

The width of the football field is 160 feet.

The length of the football field is 360 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent width of the football field.

We have been given that the length is 200 ft more than the width, so the length of the field would be $w+200$ .

We are also told that the perimeter is 1,040 ft. We know that football field is in form of rectangle, so perimeter of field would be 1 times the sum of length and width. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$2(w+w+200)=1040$

Let us solve for w.

$2(2w+200)=1040$

$4w+400=1040$

$4w+400-400=1040-400$

$4w=640$

$\frac{4w}{4}=\frac{640}{4}$

$w=160$

Therefore, the width of the football field is 160 feet.

Upon substituting $w=160$ in expression $w+200$ , we will get length of field as:

$w+200\Rightarrow 160+200=360$

Therefore, the length of the football field is 360 feet.

You buy x pounds of cherries for $2.99/b. What is a function rule for the

nikklg [1K]

If your choices are

A. C = 2.99x - 50
B. C = 50 - 2.99x
C. C = 50x - 2.99
D. C = 2.99 - 50x

2.99x

That’s the money you owe for the cherries. That eliminates choices C and D.

50 - 2.99x

When x is zero you should get 50 dollars back, so that eliminates A. You get 50 dollars back minus the money that you owe for the cherries, so that's choice B.

B. C = 50 - 2.99x
