Which function has a constant additive rate of change of –1/4? A coordinate plane with a straight line with a negative slope. The line passes through (negative 2, 2) and (2, 1). A coordinate plane with a curved line passing through (negative 1, 2), (0, negative 1), the minimum (2, negative 2), and (4, negative 1). A two column table with five rows. The first column, x, has the entries, 20, 21, 22, 23. The second column, y, has the entries negative 1, negative 1.5, negative 2, negative 2.5. A two column table with five rows. The first column, x, has the entries, negative 12, negative 11, negative 10, negative 9. The second column, y, has the entries, 7, 11, 14, 17.

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
