Hey there!

A perpendicular line's slope to another line is always the negative reciprocal of slope.

If our line has a slope of two, we first must find the reciprocal, which is 1/2. Then, we put a negative on it.

Therefore, our equation is y=-1/2x+b.

I hope that this helps! Have a great day!

Find the area please

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the area of a triangle is given by:

$\displaystyle A = \frac{1}{2} bh$

In this case, the base is x and the height is y. Hence:

$\displaystyle A = \frac{1}{2} xy$

We can write the following ratios:

$\displaystyle \sin \alpha = \frac{x}{12} \text{ and } \cos \alpha = \frac{y}{12}$

Solve for x and y:

$\displaystyle x = 12\sin \alpha \text{ and } y = 12\cos \alpha$

Substitute:

$\displaystyle A = \frac{1}{2}\left(12\sin \alpha\right)\left(12\cos \alpha\right)$

And simplify. Hence:

$\displaystyle A = 72\sin \alpha \cos\alpha$

In conclusion, our answer is D.
