Y - 3 = 8/3(x + 2)...the slope here is 8/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -3/8
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -3/8
(-2,3)....x1 = -2 and y1 = 3
now we sub
y - 3 = - 3/8(x - (-2)...not done yet
y - 3 = -3/8(x + 2) <===
Answer:
1 gallon every 16 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
If after 32 minutes the container has 6 gallons left that means it has lost 2 gallons of water. So we now divide the 32 minutes by the 2 gallons of water to get that 1 gallon of water leaks every 16 minutes.
Plot a point at the y-intercept of -2 or y = -2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
From there make a straight horizontal line
---------------------------------------------------------------
Then Shade the upper-half of that line one color This shaded part stands for
Y > -2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shade the lower half a different color, this stands for y ≤ 6
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
That should be it!
