To make an line perpendicular to another, you must take the slope of the first line and find its negative inverse to put in the second.
3y=x-6 --> y=(x-6)/3 --> y=1/3x-2
The slope of the first line is 1/3 so the slope of the second line will be -3.
Now you must use the point slope formula to find the actual equation of the second line.
y-y1=m(x-x1) --> y-(-7)=-3(x-4) --> y+7=-3x+12 --> y=-3x+5
Now you need to translate that to function notation, which is pretty easy. Simply remember f(x) = y. So...
f(x)=-3x+5, and that's your answer.

Answer: The value of x is 5.970.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The square has sides length of X cm.

Let r be the radius of the circle.

The square fits exactly inside a circle with each of the vertices being on the circumference of the circle.

Then diagonal of square = diameter of circle

i.e. $\sqrt{2}x= 2r$ [Diagonal of square = $\sqrt{2}$ (side)]

i.e. $r=\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{2}}$

area of circle = $\pi r^2$

i.e. $56=\frac{22}{7}(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}})^2$

$56=\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{x^2}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2= \dfrac{7}{11}\times56\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=35.636\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\sqrt{35.636}\approx5.970$
