Answer:

y = - \frac{3}{2} x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

y = \frac{2}{3} x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope 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}, thus

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

To find c substitute (- 6, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 9 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 9 = - 4

y = - \frac{3}{2} x - 4 ← equation of perpendicular line

Answer:

6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A = \frac{h_b b}{2}

38.4 = \frac{12.8_b b}{2}

b = 2\frac{A}{h_b}

b = 2\frac{38.4}{12.8} = 6
