Answer:

B. y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the new line will be -1.

Plug the slope and the given point into y = mx + b to find b:

y = mx + b

3 = -1(-4) + b

3 = 4 + b

-1 = b

Then, plug this and the slope into y = mx + b

y = -x - 1

So, the correct answer is B, y = -x - 1

astraxan [27]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it gives you x, you need to plug in the number given for it into the equation:

y = 3x - 1

y = 3(3) - 1

y = 9 - 1

y = 8

So now you have, x = 3 and y = 8

What is the area of a rectangle with a length of (x - 5) and width of (x + 8)?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

a = x² + 3x - 40

Step-by-step explanation:

a = l * w

a = (x - 5)(x + 8)

a = x(x + 8) - 5(x + 8)

a = (x² + 8x) + (- 5x - 40)

a = x² + 3x - 40
