Given that the points (-1, 5) and (2, 1) are vertices of a rectangle with sides parallel to the axes, how much longer is the length than the width? a) 1 unit b) 2 units c) 3 units d) 4 units

Correct choice is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Two vertices of the rectangle have coordinates A(-1, 5) and B(2, 1). If rectangle sides are parallel to the axes, then two remaining vertices have coordinates C(-1,1) and D(2,5) (see attached diagram for details).

Find the length and the width:

Then the length is 1 unit longer than the width.

step-by-step explanation:

i have done this all on a piece of paper but idk how to put it on here cuz it needs to be drawn

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
