what does the slope of -1 tell you about thr relationship between lengths and widths of rectangles with perimeter 24?

1 answer:

8 0

Using linear function concepts, the slope of -1 means that when one of the length/width is increased by 1, the other is decreased by 1.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

$y = mx + b$

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem:

The lengths and the widths are interchangeable, that is, either can be considered as the input or as the output.

The slope of -1 means that when the input in increased by 1, the output is decreased by -1, that is, when one of the length/width is increased by 1, the other is decreased by 1.

Can someone help me not sure how to do it

First add the perimeter
3.65m + 2.24m + 2.24m + 3.65m + 2.57m = 14.35 m
then convert meters to centimeters (just move the decimal place two places to the right)
answer is 1,435 cm

There are 278 houses in Hannah's neighborhood. She collected a total of $780 from her neighbors to donate for a local charity. H

ser-zykov [4K]

First, we need to find out how many houses that Hannah received money from. We can do this by dividing the total amount of money she received by the amount she received per house.

780 / 5 = 156

Hannah received money from 156 houses.
To find the amount of houses she did NOT collect money from, we just need to subtract the amount of houses that she DID receive money from away from the total amount of houses in her neighborhood.

278 - 156 = 122

Hannah did not collect money from 122 houses.
Hope this helped! =)

31. There are C(5, 2) = 10 ways to choose 2 colors from a group of 10 colors if you don't care about the order. (Here, we treat blue background with violet letters as being indistinguishable from violet background with blue letters.)

Only one of those 10 pairs is "B and V", so the probability is 1/10.
a) P(B and V) = 10%

32. The 12 inch dimension on the figure is 0 inches for the cross section. The remaining dimensions of the cross section are
c) 5 in. × 4 in.

_____
C(n, k) = n!/(k!·(n-k)!)
C(5, 2) = 5!/(2!·3!) = 5·4/(2·1) = 10
