The perimeter of a rectangle with width y and length x is 40. Write the width, y,
in terms of its length, X.

y = 20 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 40 units

2 * ( length + width) = 40

  2* (x + y) = 40    {Divide both sides by 2}}

     x + y = 40/2

     x + y = 20       {Subtract x from both sides}

            y = 20 - x

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
