The equation of the line will be equal to 3y = -x + 21.

A line may be defined as the straight figure drawn which has no end points. The equation of a line can be written in slope intercept form as y = mx + c where m is the slope of line, c is y intercept an x and y are independent and dependent variables. If a point (x₁, y₁) is given then equation of line is (y - y₁) = m (x - x₁). The slope of line which is perpendicular to a given line having slope m is equal to -1/m.

Now, equation of line is y = 3x + 3. If we compare with slope intercept form then, m = 3. Now, slope of line perpendicular to this line is equal to -1/3. Now, equation of line passing through point (-6, 9) is given as

(y - 9) = -1/3 (x + 6)

3y - 27 = -x - 6

=> 3y = -x + 21 which is the required equation of line.

Natali5045456 [20]
The formula of an area of a triangle with base b and height h:

A_{\Delta}=\dfrac{bh}{2}

We have:

A_{\Delta}=672\ in^2\\b=5x-4\\h=2x

Domain:\\5x-4 > 0\to x > 0.8\\x > 0\\therefore\ D:x > 0.8

Substitute:

\dfrac{(5x-4)\cdot2x}{2}=672\\\\x(5x-4)=672\ \ \ |-672\\\\5x^2-4x-672=0\\\\5x^2+56x-60x-673=0\\\\x(5x+56)-12(5x+56)=0\\\\(5x+56)(x-12)=0\iff5x+56=0\ \vee\ x-12=0\\\\5x+56=0\ \ \ |-56\\5x=-56\ \ \ |:5\\x=-11.2\notin D\\\\x-12=0\ \ \ |+12\\x=12\in D

Answer: x = 12 in.
