put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c
2x - y = 16
2x = 16 + y
y = 2x - 16
the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.
you can form this equation with that info
2x = -1
x = -1/2
OR
you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1
2/1
= -1/2
Child=x
Adult=y
y=3x
5.2x+9.9y=767.8
5.2x+9.9(3x)=767.8
5.2x+29.7x=767.8
34.9x=767.8
x=22
150x100= 15,000 square meters
150x2= 300
100 + 300 = 400 meters of fencing
