Hi there!
To find the perpendicular slope you need to flip the fraction and change the sign. So 1/2=2/1 and tge original slope was positive, so the slope is -2. Now you sub in the point (-7,-4) in for x and y in the formula y=mx+b and solve for b (sub in 2 for m as well)
Y=mx+b
-4=-2*-7+b
-4=14+b
-4-14=b
B=-18
The equation is y=-2x-18
Hope this helps!
The answer is going to be A
The answer to this is 0.2725
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
They gave you an easy triangle. You can tell by the coordinates that X and Z are horizontally aligned, and Y and Z are vertically aligned, so Z is a right angle.
Area = 0.5(XZ)(YZ) = 0.5(3)(3) = 4.5 square units.
