The area of the rectangular is expressed in the formula A = l*w where l is the length and w is the width. from the first satement, l = 2  + w; then A = (2+w)*w = 2w + w^2. If A is equal to 168, then w should be equal to 12 feet and l is equal to 14 feet. Hence the width due to the border limits is 12- 2*2 equal to 8 feet

Line j has an equation of y - 8 = -2/3(x+5). Line K is perpendicular to line j and passes + through (-6, -2). What is the equati
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{2} x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

y - 8 = - \frac{2}{3} (x + 5) ← is in point- slope form

with m = - \frac{2}{3}

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{2}{3} } = \frac{3}{2}

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept ) , then

y = \frac{3}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 6, - 2 ) into the partial equation

- 2 = - 9 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 9 = 7

y = \frac{3}{2} x + 7 ← equation of line K
