Meters, yards are not in the metric system
3y = x - 6
y = 1/3x - 2.
slope her is 1/3. A perpendicular line will have anegative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal of a number, u flip the number and change the sign. So the slope we need os -3/1 or just -3.(see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign)
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(3,-5)...x = 3 and y = -5
now we sub and find b, the y int
-5 = -3(3) + b
-5 = -9 + b
-5 + 9 = b
4 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -3x + 4

I'll give you a few hints. Area of a rectangle is length times width. We know that length times width is 135 sq ft, so we can express it as:
<span>L * W = 135 </span>
<span>Now, L is 6 feet longer than width (L = 6 + W). Something tells me this is going to involve a quadratic formula then plugging in values into our original equation. </span>
