What is the equation of a line that goes through the point (0,-3) and has a slope of -2 ?

For this case we have that the point-slope equation of a line is given by:

They tell us that:

The slope,

The point,

Substituting in the equation:

Finally:

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
