Type the correct equation of the line. (0, 1), (2, -3), (4, -7)

Explanation:

Use the slope formula to get the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-3-1)/(2-0) .. I used the first two points

m = -4/2

m = -2

The slope is m = -2

The y intercept is b = 1 as this is the y coordinate of the point (0,1). The y intercept always happens when x = 0.

Plug the m and b value into y = mx+b to get y = -2x+1

As a check, plug x = 0 into y = -2x+1. You should get y = 1.

Repeat for x = 2 and you should get y = -3

Repeat for x = 4 and you should get y = -7

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
