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

Share a reward of $140 in a ratio of 2:5

So first we divide 140 by 7 because our ratio is a total of 7 dollars to get 20
So we multiply both sides of the ratio by 20 to get a ratio of 40:100
We can check our answer and it is right because 100+40=140

Answer:

30.01 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given vertices WXYZ:

W(-4,5), X(2,4), Y(3, -4), Z(-1, -6)

Perimeter is the sum of the side length.

Use distance formula to find each side:

WX = $\sqrt{(2+4)^2+(4-5)^2} =\sqrt{37}$ ≈ 6.08
XY = $\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-4-4)^2} =\sqrt{65}$ ≈ 8.06
YZ = $\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(-6+4)^2} =\sqrt{20}$ ≈ 4.47
WZ = $\sqrt{(-1+4)^2+(-6-5)^2} =\sqrt{130}$ $\sqrt{(-1+4)^2+(-6-5)^2}=\sqrt{130}$ ≈ 11.40
