The activity pictured is called goat tying.
Answer:
h = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 + 3h = 1
Add 8 to both sides.
3h = 1 + 8
Add 1 and 8 to get 9.
3h = 9
Divide both sides by 3.
h = 
Divide 9 by 3 to get 3.
h = 3
Two lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is - 1.
So, you just need to find the slope of each line and find out the product of their slopes.
I will do one example for you.
L1: y = 3x + 5
L2: y = - 3x + 14
L3: y = -x/3 + 14
The slope of a line is the coefficient of the x.
So the slopes are:
L1: slope 3
L2: slope -3
L3: slope -1/3
So now multiply the slopes of each pair of lines:
L1 and L2: 3 * (-3) = - 9 => No, they are not perpendicular
L2 and L3: (-3) * (-1/3) = 1 => No, they are not perpendicular
L1 and L3: (3) * (-1/3) = -1 => Yes, they are penpendicular.
Answer:
y=-2/5x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is m and the y intercept is b
