Need help with this ( finding slope ) plz

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 340) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 292) ← 2 ordered pairs from table

m = = = - 12

(0, 340 ) → gives the y- intercept b = 340

The equation is of the form

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept ), thus

y = - 12x + 340

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
