Answer:

Slope of perpendicular line is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is 3 and we have to find the slope of the perpendicular line.

We know that the slope of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.

In other words if the slope of the line is m then then slope of the perpendicular line is -\frac{1}{m}

The reciprocal of 3 is \frac{1}{3}

Hence, negative reciprocal of 3 is -\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, the slope of perpendicular line is -1/3

C is the correct option.

Answer:

128.605 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the areas of the top triangle, and the bottom triangle and add them together.

The top triangle consists of 2 smaller triangles.  Look at the larger one, the height is 4.93 and the base is 17.  The area is...

A = (1/2)(17)(4.93)

   A = 41.905 m²

The bottom triangle consists of 2 smaller triangles.  Look at the larger one, the height is 10.2 and the base is 17.   The area is...

A = (1/2)(17)(10.2)

  A = 86.7 m²

The total area is 41.905 m² + 86.7 m² = 128.605 m²
