The slope of the graph is 4/5
<h3>How to determine the slope</h3>Using the formula
Slope = Δ y-axis / Δ x- axis
y2 = -4
y1 = 0
x2 = -5
x1 = 0
Slope =
Substitute the values into the formula
<em>Slope = </em>
Slope =
Slope =

Answer:
- 160 ft (out from the river)
- 320 ft (parallel to the river)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the river. Then the dimension of perpendicular to the river will be half the remaining fence: (640-x)/2. The total area will be ...
A = x(640-x)/2
This is the equation of a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at x=0 and x=640, so its axis of symmetry is x = (0+640)/2 = 320. That is, the peak of the area curve is found when x=320.
The dimensions of the garden with the largest area are 160 ft wide by 320 ft long, where the long side is the river side.
