Let 5w equal the length and w equal the width.

5w + w = Area
6w = Area

5(20) = Length
Length = 100 inches

Given:

Equation of line $7x-4y=-12$ .

To find:

The equation of line that goes through the point ( − 21 , 2 ) and is perpendicular to the given line.

Solution:

The given equation of line can be written as

$7x-4y+12=0$

Slope of line is

$\text{Slope}=-\dfrac{\text{Coefficient of x}}{\text{Coefficient of y}}$

$m_1=-\dfrac{7}{(-4)}$

$m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}$

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. So, slope of perpendicular line is

$m_1m_2=-1$

$m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}$

$m_2=-\dfrac{4}{7}$ $[\because m_1=\dfrac{7}{4}]$

Now, the slope of perpendicular line is $m_2=\dfrac{4}{7}$ and it goes through (-21,2). So, the equation of line is

$y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)$

$y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}(x-(-21))$

$y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-\dfrac{4}{7}(21)$

$y-2=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-12$

$y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-12+2$

$y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-10$

Therefore, the required equation in slope intercept form is $y=-\dfrac{4}{7}x-10$ .

Answer:

13 is two and two thirds of four and seven eighths.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, all you need to do is divide 13 by 2 and two thirds. Let's do it:

$13 \div 2\frac{2}{3}\\= 13 \div \frac{8}{3}\\= 13 \times \frac{3}{8}\\= \frac{13 \times 3}{8}\\= \frac{39}{8}\\= 4\frac{7}{8}$
