Answer:
y = (7/2)x -20
Step-by-step explanation:
The given line is in slope-intercept form, so you can read its slope from the equation.
y = mx + b . . . . . m is the slope; b is the y-intercept
y = -(2/7)x + 9 . . . . . . has slope -2/7
The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this, so will be ...
m = -1/(-2/7) = 7/2
We can use this and the given point to write the equation in point-slope form.
y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
We have m = 7/2, (h, k) = (4, -6) so the equation is ...
y = (7/2)(x -4) -6
y = (7/2)x -20
I can’t quite see the question. Mind taking a picture of it closer?
We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
