(0,6)(-5,0)
The equation for this line is:
Y=mX+b

6=6/5*0+b
6=b ans. for the y intercept.
y=6x/5+6 is the equation for this line. (red line)
A perpendicular line will have a slope=-5/6 passing through (0,0).
0=-5/6*0+b

Quadratic_Equations/205148: Hi, I need help solving this problem.
A rectangular piece of cardboard 11 inches by 14 inches is made into a box by cutting idential squares from each corner and folding up the sides. If the bottom of the box turns out to haave an area of 80 in^2, what size squares were cut from the corners?

I am setting up my problem as: 80 = (w-11)(w-14) but I am not sure if I am barking up the wrong alley (so to speak). Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you - Lori

(11-2x)(14-2x)=80
154-28x-22x+4x^2=80
4x^2-50x+154-80=0
4x^2-50x+74=0
Using the quadratic equation x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+ we get:
x=(50+-sqrt[-50^2-4*4*74])/2*4
x=(50+-sqrt[2,500-1,184])/8
x=(50+-sqrt1,316)/8
x=(50+-36.2767)/8
x=(86.2767)/8
x=10.78 not an ans.
x=(50-36.2767)/8
x=13.7233/8
x=1.7154 in. is the size of the square removed from the 4 corners.
Proof:
(11-2*1.7154)(14-2*1.7154)=80
(11-3.43)(14-3.43)=80
7.57*10.57=80

Parallel to 2y=5x+7, & passing through (0,-3.5)
2y=5x+7
y=5x/2+7/2
y=2.5x+3.5 (red line)
This line has a slope=2.5.
Thus any parallel line also has a slope=5/2.
Y=mX+b is the equation of the parallel line through (0,-3.5) with a slope=5/2.
-3.5=2.5*0+b
-3.5=b which is the y intercept of the parallel line.
y=2.5x-3.5 (green line).

1.65=1+8t-5tē
5t^2-8t-1+1.65=0
5t^2-8t+.65=0
Using the quadratic equation:
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
We get:
t=(8+-sqrt[-8^2-4*5*.65])/2*5
t=(8+-sqrt[64-13])/10
t=(8+-sqrt51)/10
t=8+-7.1414)/10
t=(8+7.1414)/10
t=15.1414/10
t=1.5141 ans.
t=(8-7.1414)/10
t=.8586/10

Answer 154817 by checkley77(12569) About Me  on 2009-08-02 10:36:00 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
18x - 12y = 18
x = y - 12
Substituting (y-12) for x in the first equation we get:
18(y-12)-12y=18
18y-216-12y=18
6y=18+216
6y=234
y=234/6
y=39 ans.
x=39-12
x=27 ans.
Proof:
18*27-12*39=18
