Answer:
The equation that represents the new path is y=(1/3)x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the give line
we have
y=-3x-6
so
the slope m is equal to
m=-3
step 2
Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line
Remember that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal of each other
so
we have
m=-3 -----> slope of the given line
therefore
The slope of the perpendicular line is equal to
m=1/3
step 3
With m=1/3 and the point (-3,3) find the equation of the line
y-y1=m(x-x1)
substitute
y-3=(1/3)(x+3)
y=(1/3)x+1+3
y=(1/3)x+4 -----> equation that represent the new path
Area = length × width
45/4 = 9/2 × width
width = (45/4) ÷ (9/2)
= 5/2 feet
Ok so what I would do Is I would do 3 x p=m
7.7 is the greater decimal
