Answer:

y = -5x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations, or lines, that are perpendicular to each other have opposite reciprocals for the value of slope.  For the given line, y = 1/5x - 2, the slope is 1/5 and the opposite reciprocal is -5.

Given the value of the slope and a given point on the second line, you can solve for 'b':

y = mx + b

8 = (-5)(-5) + b

8 = 25 + b

-17 = b

y = -5x - 17

John bought a bag of lawn fertilizer that will cover 289 square feet. What
erik [133]

Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of lawn fertilizer covers 289 square feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover.

Area of a square lawn = length^2

Area of the square lawn = 289 square feet

Area of a square lawn = length^2

289 = length^2

Find the square root of both sides

√289 = √length^2

17 = length

Length = 17 feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover = 17 feet by 17 feet
