Answer:
y = -6x - 42
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve for y in x = 6 + 6y.
6y + 6 = x
6y = x - 6
6/6y = x/6 - 6/6
y = 1/6x - 1 the slope is 1/6.
Perpendicular lines slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
So the new equation will have the slope of -6 ( the negative reciprocal of 1/6)
Next solve for "b" by using y = mx + b and the new slope of -6 and the point (-8,6)
y = mx + b
6 = -6(-8) + b
6 = 48 + b
-42 = b
The equation of the line is y = -6x - 42
Answer:
The trend: The numbers are getting higher.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see the markings in the plot going up.
Rectangle's perimeter formula is p=2(length+width)
2(9x+8x)=68
17x=34
x=2
length is 9(2)=18 feet
width is 8(2)=16feet
