So first. You need to convert to y = mx + b form, so to do that, subtract 5x from both sides, and you will have -6y = -5x + 9
Next, you need to divide by -6, and you get y = 5/6x + 1.5
Its good to note that for finding an equation that is perpendicular to that that equation, the slope is the opposite reciprocal. So, for the slope of your new line it is -6/5x.
So slope intercept form is y-y1 = m(x - x1) so to plug that in with the coordinates (-3, 5) you would have y - (-3) = -6/5(x - 5)
Then add the opposite and do the distributive property on the right side of the equation, so its y + 3 = -6/5x + 6
Then you would solve for y so subtract 3 and you end up with:
y = -6/5x + 3

A parallelogram has sides 8 ft and 6 ft and an area of 54 ft 2. What is the length of the
Colt1911 [192]

Step-by-step explanation:

there is something wrong with your question.

there is no parallelogram with 8 and 6 ft side lengths that has an area of 54 ft².

the maximum area of a parallelogram with 8 and 6 ft side lengths is 48 ft². and that is a rectangle 8×6 as a special form of a parallelogram.

the area of any parallelogram is calculated

Ap = base length × height

and height is the length of the line perpendicular to the base line to one of the corners on the opposite side (as long as the base line).

if Ap = 54, and the base length is 8, this means

54 = 8 × height

height = 54/8 = 6.75 ft

but the height can only be the length of a side connected to the base line or less. not longer.

and in our example here, this connected side is 6. so, the height can only be 6 or less. not 6.75.

so, there must be something wrong with your numbers.

once you get the actual numbers, use my approach above with them (replace whatever number is wrong here by the true value).
