You have to write the equation for a line that crosses the point (-4, -7) and is perpendicular to the line

When you have to determine a line that is perpendicular to a known line, you have to keep in mind that the slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative inverse of the first one.
If for exampla you have two lines, the first one being:

And the second one, that is perpedicular to the one above:

The slope of the second one is the negative inverse of the first one:

The slope of the given line y=-7/4+4 is m=-7/4
So the slope of the perpendicular line has to ve the inverse negative of -7/4

Considering it has to pass through the point (-4,-7) and that we already determined its slope, you can unse the point slope formula to determine the equation of the perpendicular line:

replace with the coordinates of the point and the slope and calculate:

Subtract 7 to both sides of the equation to write it in slope-intercept form:

Now you can graph both lines
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
since its a rectangle there are two lengths of six. If you add them together you get 12. subtract the total perimeter of 54 by the 12 and get 42. Since there is 2 sides left divide by 2. You should get 21 for the width of the rectangle
First, find the GCF. For these two numbers, it is 36. (Because 36 times 1 is 36 and 36 times 2 is 72)
Divide both sides by this, which gives you a
2:1 ratio
