Answer:

The answer to your question is     y = -2x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Original line    y = 1/2x - 7

Point = (-10, 7)

New line = ?

Process

1.- Find the slope of the original line

    The slope is the coefficient of the x

                     y = 1/2x - 7

    slope = 1/2

2.- Find the slope of the new line

The new line is perpendicular to the original line

    slope = -2

3.- Find the equation of the new line

          y - y1 = m(x - x1)

          y - 7 = -2(x + 10)

-Simplification

          y - 7 = -2x - 20

          y = -2x - 20 + 7

          y = -2x - 13

The back of Dante's property is a creek. Dante would like to enclose a rectangular area, using the creek as one side and fencing
Allushta [10]

The correct value is 720 ft of fencing.

Answer:

Max Area = 64800 sq.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A square will always give us the maximum area.

Thus, one side would be;

720/4 = 180 feet

So, we want a square 180 ft by 180 ft

however, from the question, we are to use the creek as one side. So, we'll take the 180 ft that we don't need because of the creek and then add it to the opposite side to get 180 + 180 = 360 ft.

Thus,we now have a rectangle with dimensions: 180 ft by 360 ft

Area is given by;

area = length × width

Maximum Area = 180 × 360

Max Area = 64800 sq.ft

tester [92]

Answer: 8/9 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

The word 'of' means 'times' as far as fractions are concerned. In this case, we have 1/3 of 2 1/3.

First, it is a good idea to make 2 1/3 an improper fraction - as 8/3, so now we have:

1/3 of 8/3, but since 'of' means 'times' we have,

1/3 x 8/3 = 8/9

The answer is 8/9 cups.
