This equation is written in slope intercept form (y=mx+b where m is slope and b in the y intercept).
The m value here is -5 so that is the slope.
The b value here is 0 so the y intercept is at 0.
You can also find this by plugging 0 for the value of x.
y= -5(0)
y= 0
Answer:
maybe the third one it is a wild answer please
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x represents the length in feet, and the width is 2 ft shorter than 3 times the length, the width is 3x-2.
The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width, so we can write the equation ...
76 = 2(x + (3x-2))
38 = 4x -2 . . . . . divide by 2, simplify
40 = 4x . . . . . . . .add 2
10 = x . . . . . . . . . the length of the garden is 10 ft
The width of the garden is ...
3·10 -2 = 28 . . . feet
The width of the garden is 28 feet.
