<h3>
<u>Explanation</u></h3>

The structure or equation is similar to a quadratic function.
The value of a determines the slope of graph.
Tthe value of h determines the horizontal shift of graph.
The value of k determines the vertical shift of the graph.
From the given equation,

We can say that the graph shifts to the right 2 units and shifts down 7 units. Hence the vertex would be at x = 2 and y = -7. It can be written in coordinate form as (2,-7).
<h3>
<u>Answer</u></h3>
<u>
</u>
Y=-1/2x+8
perpendicular means slope is opposite reciprocal so it would be -1/2
y=-1/2x+b
Plug in points and solve for b
B=8
You have to give every thing that the problem says for me to be able to figure it out.
59,424.77 rounded to the nearest square mile is 59,425.
