The length of the rectangle is 3 cm

<h3>Applications of Quadratic equations</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the value of the length of the rectangle

To find the length of the rectangle, we will determine the value of x in the given equation

The given equation is

x^{2} + 5x =24

This can be written as

x^{2} +5x -24 =0

Factorizing

x^{2} +8x - 3x -24 = 0

x(x+8) -3(x+8)=0

(x-3)(x+8)=0

Then,

x-3 = 0 OR x + 8 = 0

x = 3 OR x = -8

Since, the length of the rectangle cannot be negative, the value of x is 3.

Hence, the length of the rectangle is 3 cm.

Determine the equation of the line passing through the points <br> (4,-1) and (-2,-4)
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope:

m=\frac{-4-(-1)}{-2-4} =\frac{-4+1}{-6} =\frac{-3}{-6} =\frac{3}{6} =\frac{1}{2}

the equation:

with the point (4, -1)

y-(-1)=\frac{1}{2} (x-4)

y+1=\frac{1}{2}x-2

y=\frac{1}{2} x-2-1

y=\frac{1}{2} x-3
