Order of operations. Doing so turns it into a simple division equation.</u>
The lengths of the rectangles are 7 and 12 respectively. Form the ratio 7/12. The widths of the rects. are x and 5 respectively. Form the ratio x/5. Now equate these two ratios:
7 x
--- = ---
12 5
Solve this for x. One way to do this would be to cross-multiply, obtaining 12x = 35, and solving this result for x. x will be a fraction. Write the numerator and denominator in the boxes given.
Answer: 4
The given line has a slope of -1/4 as this is the number in front of the x. The general equation y = mx+b has m as the slope. So m = -1/4 is given
Flip the sign to get -1/4 turn into +1/4 or just 1/4
Then flip the fraction (aka reciprocal) to go from 1/4 to 4/1 and that simplifies to 4.
Multiplying the original slope (-1/4) and the perpendicular slope (4) will result in -1.
