The first step is to find the slope of the given line by putting its equation in the form y = mx + b.
9y = x - 18
Dividing both sides by 9, gives:
y = (x/9) - 2
The slope of the given line is therefore 1/9.
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be m.
The product of the two slopes must equal -1 for the lines to be perpendicular.
m\times\frac{1}{9}=-1
Therefore m = -9.
At this stage the equation of the required line is y = -9x + b.
Now we need to find the value of b.
Plugging the given values of a point on the line (6, -1) into the equation gives:
-1 = -54 + b; from which b = 53.
The required equation for the line is:
f(x) = -9x + 53.

Can somebody help me solve for x?
Dahasolnce [82]

Let y = the distance between the top left corner and the bottom right corner

y^2 = 24^2 + 15^2

y^2 = 801

y = 3 * sqrt(89)

Now we can find x.

12^2 + x^2 = (3 * sqrt(89))^2

x^2 = 657

x = 3 * sqrt(73) or 25.63
