The line with equation y=my+b is perpendicular to the line with equation y=16 - x/3. The value of m is ____?
1 answer:
Answer:
m=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines intersect at 90 degrees or perpendicular angles. As such, their slopes are related. The slope of each line is the negative reciprocal of the other. For the equation, . The slope or
. This means the slope of the other line will be the negative reciprocal which is -(-3)=3

Answer:
13.04 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a parallelogram, we only need to solve for the sides of 2 sides.
We can use the distance formula.
The distance from A --> D :
A(3,6) and D(2,2)
2 - 3 = -1
-1^2 = 1
2 - 6 = -4
-4^2 = 16
1 + 16 = 17
The distance from A --> B :
A(3,6) and B(6,5)
6 - 3 = 3
3^2 = 9
5 - 6 = -1
-1^2 = 1
9 + 1 = 10
