Y=kx
-5=k(15)
-5/15=k
-1/3=k
now,
y=-1/5x
3=-1/5x
3×5=-1(x)
15=-1(x)
multiplying both sides by -1,we get
-15=x
Since the base is 3 inches and the height is 4 inches, as well as the area of a triangle being base*height/2, we get 3*4/2=6 in. for each triangle. Since we need 20 pieces for each puzzle, we multiply 6 by 20 to get 120. In addition, since 80 puzzles are needed, with 20 pieces for each puzzle, we have 120 inches for each puzzle and 120*80 = 9600 square inches of wood used
Answer:
y = -0.2x - 5.8
Step-by-step explanation:
If a line is given in the form y = mx + b, the "m" is the slope.
For the line given y = 5x, the slope is 5
The line that is perpendicular to this will have slope that is "negative reciprocal of that".
So, the perpendicular line will have slope of 
So, the Perpendicular Line will have equation:
y = -1/5x + b
Let's find b by replacing x with 6 and y with -7 [the point given]. So we have:

So the equation of perpendicular line = y = -0.2x - 5.8
The last one is the answer
