What is the slope and equation of a line parallel to the x-axis passing through (3,7)?

We know that the equation is y=7 because it passes through point (3,7), and 7 is the y-coordinate of that point (remember we don't really care about the 3 because since the line is parallel to the x-axis, it will pass through all values of x, so the 3 is irrevalent).

Step-by-step explanation:

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
