Answer:

y = -9x - 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes

Given line:

y = 1/9x + 6

Perpendicular line is:

y = - 9x + b and passes through the point (-7, 0)
0 = -9*(-7) + b
b = - 42

So the line is:

y = -9x - 42

When a figure is translated, what is true, compared to the preimage of the figure

Charra [1.4K]

When you translate something in geometry, you're simply moving it around. You don't distort it in any way. If you translate a segment, it remains a segment, and its length doesn't change. Similarly, if you translate an angle, the measure of the angle doesn't change.
