Find a point-slope form for the line that satisfies the stated conditions. Slope 2, passing through (-4)
The equation of the line in point-slope
form is
(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in point-slope form.)

Set up an equation. Make the length x and you can make the width x-5. In order to fir the width is 5 feet smaller than the length. Now the formula for area is length times width. So plug in what you know.
x(x-5)=14 distribute the x
X^2-5x=14 move the 14 over
X^2-5x-14=0 use factoring to figure out
(X-7)(X+2)=0
Now x can equal 7 and negative 2
Since the length cannot be negative we get rid of negative 2
So we have x equals 7 plug that in. We get length =7 and width =2
