The slope of the line that is perpendicular to 6x + 2y = -32 is: 1/3.

<h3>What is the Slope of Perpendicular Lines?</h3>

The slope of two lines that are perpendicular to each other will always have a product that is equal to -1, which means that their slopes are negative reciprocals to each other.

Rewrite 6x + 2y = -32 in slope-intercept form:

2y = -6x - 32

2y/2 = -6x/2 - 32/2

y = -3x - 16

The slope is -3. Negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3.

Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line would be: 1/3.

URGENT TEST I HAVE!!!!

Lerok [7]

Answer:

I think they are asking the area of the triangle so we are going with that.

Step-by-step explanation:

Easiest way to do this is find the area of the incomplete square, and then cut that in half for the triangle.

so it is 4 cm wide

and 8 cm tall

length x width = area

8 x 4 = 32

32/2 = 16

So your answer should be 16 cm
