Answer:
y = -3/2 x +13
Step-by-step explanation:
We want our line to be perpendicular to
y = 2/3 x -1
The slope of this line is 2/3 (since it is written in the form y = mx+b and m is the slope)
Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes
m = -(3/2)
The slope of our new line is -3/2
We can use point slope form of the equation
y-y1 - m (x-x1)
y - 7 = -3/2 (x-4)
Distribute
y-7 = -3/2x +6
Add 7 to each side
y-7+7 = -3/2 x +6+7
y = -3/2 x +13
Answer:
x+4=12
x in this equation would be 8
7.9^2 + 8.5^2= sqrt 134.66 = 11.60 ft
