A² - 225 = (a-15)(a+15)

Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Y = 3/2x + 1
The slope is 3/2, opposite sign = -3/2 now reciprocal = -2/3
Y = -2/3x + b
Plug in the point (6,-2)
-2 = -2/3(6) + b
-2 = -12/3 + b
-2 = -4 + b, b =2
Solution: y = -2/3x + 2
It would be B, 6.5 inches
Answer is B. Bc it's 72/12 =.5
