Short and Sweet Have a good day :D
Answer:
(since they're similar, set them up as a proportion to find x)
14*14 = 8(x+2) (cross multiply, solve the left side, and distribute the right side)
196 = 8x +16 (subtract 16 from both sides)
180 = 8x (divide both sides by 8)
x= 22.5 (is your answer, or C)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solving an equation like this is to find the slope of a line that will be perpendicular to the line given. The slope of a line that's perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal. The negative reciprocal of -1/5 is 5. So, so far our equation is y = 5x + b. Now, to find what b is equal to, we should substitute the values of x and y from the point (1,2) since we know that our line goes through the point. Our equation becomes:
2 = 5 + b
b= -3
That means that the equation of our new line is y = 5x - 3
