Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (2, -4) with a slope of 1/2.
a) y = 1/2 x + 5
b) y = 1/2 x - 3
c) y = 1/2 x - 5
d) y = 1/2 x + 3

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
