the \"could\" means theres a few possible answers to this question so this makes it incredibly easy to pick which answer you want
\n" ); document.write( "L*W=A
\n" ); document.write( "6*8=48
\n" ); document.write( "in graphing since we will let L=x-axis and W=y-axis
\n" ); document.write( "so x=6 and y=8
\n" ); document.write( "putting the bottom left corner at (0,0) go up to(0,8) right to (6,8) and down to (6,0) and you have your plotted rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "now you can take the points of a diagnal line and find its slope
\n" ); document.write( "i choose diagnal going up from (0,0) to (6,8)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%28y-y%29%2F%28x-x%29\"$ memorize your formulas m=slope
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%288-0%29%2F%286-0%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=8%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28m=4%2F3%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
