Answer:
slope: -2 y intercept: -4 x intercept: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope (m) = (-14 -4) / (5 - -4) = -18 / 9 = -2
y intercept (b) = y - mx = 4 - (-2)x(-4) = 4 - 8 = -4
equation: y = -2 x - 4
x intercept: y = 0 x = -2
X=side length of a campsite
12x(5+x)=1248 because each campsite has a length of x and there are 12 and from the top of the camp to the water is the 5 yds + a side length and LW=1248
60x+12x^2=1248
12x^2+60x-1248=0
x^2+5-14=0
(x+7)(x-2)=0
x+7=0 or x-2=0
x=-7 or x=2
x=2 because width can't be negative
the width of one campsite is 2 yds
Hi there!
Since triangle RST is stated with the sides in order (R is connected to S, which is connected to T, which is then connected to R), the side between R and S is T.
Hope this helps!
