ength of the shorter piece.
How long will each piece of hose be?

Shorter one in ft: Longer one in ft:
Would the part, "3 ft more than 2 times the length..." be 2x + 3? If so how do I figure this out? :'(

Answer:
y +5 = -1/3(x -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the given line is 3. The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of that, -1/3. Then the point-slope equation is ...
y -y1 = m(x -x1) . . . . line with slope m through point (x1, y1)
y -(-5) = -1/3(x -3)
y +5 = -1/3(x -3)
I did the box method and my answer was 64x2 x_sqaured minus 16
