Answer:

Width =  7 cm

Length = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w

Length = w + 8

Area of rectangle = 105 sq. cm

length * breadth = 105

(w + 8)*w = 105

Use distributive property

w² + 8w = 105

w² + 8w - 105 = 0

Sum = 8

Product = -105

Factors = 15 , -7   {15 +(-7) = 8 & 15*(-7) = -105}

w² - 7m + 15m - 105 = 0

w(w - 7) + 15(m - 7) = 0

(w - 7)(w + 15) = 0

Ignore w + 15= 0 as measurements will not be in negative value

w - 7 = 0

w = 7

Width = 7 cm

Length = 7 + 8 = 15 cm

What is the slope OF THE GRAPH, not what is A slope, what is THE slope
PtichkaEL [24]

You can find the slope either by just looking at the line or using the slope formula.

#1: The slope formula is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}       Find two points and plug it into the formula

I will use (0, 2) and (1, -1)

(0, 2) = (x₁, y₁)

(1, -1) = (x₂, y₂)

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m = \frac{2-(-1)}{0-1}   [two negatives cancel each other out and become positive]

m=\frac{2+1}{-1} =\frac{3}{-1}

m = -3

#2: To find the slope without having to do the work, you use this:

m=\frac{rise}{run}

Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-) from each point

Run is the number of units you go to the right from each point

If we start at a defined/obvious point, like (0, 2), find the next point and see how many units it goes up or down and to the right. The next point is (1, -1), so from each point, you go down 3 units and to the right 1 unit. So your slope is -3/1 or -3. You can make sure the slope is right by looking at another point.
