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:
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.
2/3 because it’s out of 3, if you cut a pizza in 3 slices the slices are bigger and if u take 2 out of the three the remaining piece is bigger than the 4/5 because those 5 pieces will be cut smaller
