The slope of the perpendicular line will be 2. Remember, a perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal.
So, we can make the equation
. We need to find b, and put b in.
To find b, put in the numbers of y and x.

Solve for b:

Now replace b in the original equation with 12 and that will be the answer:
The answer is
.
Answer:
9 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is -3/2 and the y-intercept is -3. If you need me to explain I can do that :) hope this helps
Be more specific I’m not understanding your question?
Answer:
-2-2√3, -2+2√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent one of the numbers. Then the other number is -4-x. We want the product to be -8:
x(-4-x) = -8
-4x -x^2 = -8 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x^2 +4x = 8 . . . . . . multiply by -1
x^2 +4x +4 = 12 . . . add 4 to complete the square
(x +2)^2 = 12
x +2 = ±√12 = ±2√3
x = -2±2√3
The two numbers are -2-2√3 ≈ -5.4641, and -2+2√3 ≈ 1.4641.
