Answer:

b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite sign and reciprocals (flipped over).

In the equation

ax + by = c,

the slope of the line is

-a/b

If you haven't memorized this pattern yet, you can calculate it by solving ax+by=c for y.

by = -ax +c

y = -a/b x + c/b

The slope is -a/b

So a perpendicular line would be opposite sign and flipped, b/a

What is the perimeter of a square with side length 2x-3
NeTakaya

Perimeter of a square: side length * 4, since squares have equal side lengths

Take 2x - 3 for the side length and plug it into the formula.

(2x - 3) * 4 can be rewritten as 4(2x - 3)

Distribute 4 inside the parentheses.

8x - 12 = perimeter of the square
