A rectangle has an area of 36 inches squared. Write an equation to show how the length (l) varies inversely the width (w).

Start with the first sentence, and the definition of the area of a rectangle:
l * w = 36

Rewrite the equation to get
l = 36 / w
or
w = 36 / l
Either one shows the inverse relationship between w and l.

Assuming the last part wants you to write an equation for an x-y graph, the equation would be
y = 36 / x

A line passes through the point (8,-9) and has a slope of -5/2. Write an equation in slope intercept form for this line.

noname [10]

Answer:

y = - $\frac{5}{2}$ x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - $\frac{5}{2}$ , then

y = - $\frac{5}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (8, - 9) into the partial equation

- 9 = - 20 + c ⇒ c = - 9 + 20 = 11

y = - $\frac{5}{2}$ x + 11 ← equation of line

Find the volume of the solid figure shown below. The area of the base is 40 square inches and the height of the figure is 7 inch

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$\displaystyle V _{ \text{cuboid}} =280 {in}^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given the base area and the height of a solid figure

since the base area is not perfect square

we assure the solid figure to be a cuboid

remember that,

$\displaystyle V _{ \text{cuboid}} = l\times w \times h$

we are given l×w is 40 and h is 7

so substitute

$\displaystyle V _{ \text{cuboid}} =40 \times 7$

simplify multiplication:

$\displaystyle V _{ \text{cuboid}} =280$

hence,

the volume of the figure is 280 in³
