Find a slope of each line (each block is one unit):

m = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation: In algebra, we use the word slope to describe how steep a line is and slope can be found using the ratio rise/run between any two points that are on that line.

So for the line you see here, let's use the points A and B to find its slope. I have labeled these points in the attachment that's is provided.

To get from point A to point B, we would rise 6 units and run 4 units. So the slope of this line or its rise/run is 6/4.

As a last step to these problems, make sure you have reduced your slope as much as possible and notice that 6/4 can be reduced to 3/2.

The variable that's used to represent slope is m.

So for this line we would say that m = 3/2.

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
