Answer:

y+3x+23=0

Step-by-step explanation:

From y = x/3 + 6 comparing with general equation of a line, y = mx +c

m1 = 1/3

Perpendicularity rule states that m1m2 = -1

m2 = -1/1/3 = -1 * 3/1 = -3

The equation is

y-y1 = m2(x-x1)

y-(-2) = -3(x-(-7))

y+2 = -3(x+7)

y+2 = -3x-21

y = -3x-21-2

y= -3x-23

y+3x = -23

y+3x+23=0

You have 42 ft. of fencing (1 ft. segments) to make a rectangular garden. How much should each side be to maximize your total ar

Verizon [17]

Answer:

$Length=10.5\ ft$

$Width=10.5\ ft$

$Area=110.25\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the length of the rectangular garden

y---> the width of the rectangular garden

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

$P=2(x+y)$

we have

$P=42\ ft$

$42=2(x+y)$

simplify

$21=(x+y)$

$y=21-x$ ------> equation A

Remember that the area of rectangle is equal to

$A=xy$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$A=x(21-x)$

$A=21x-x^{2}$ ----> this is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum area

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the length side of the rectangle that maximize the area

using a graphing tool

The vertex is the point $(10.5,110.25)$

see the attached figure

$x=10.5\ ft$

Find the value of y

$y=21-10.5=10.5\ ft$

The garden is a square

the area is equal to

$A=(10.5)(10.5)=110.25\ ft^{2}$ ----> is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex is correct
