Answer:

The equation of the perpendicular line is y = -x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the form of the slope intercept for

- The slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of

  the line and b is the y-intercept

* Now lets revise the relation between the slopes of the

 perpendicular lines

- If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1

# Ex: If line L has slope m1 and line K has slope m2, and L ⊥ K

∴ m1 × m2 = -1

∴ m2 = -1/m1

* Now lets solve the problem

- We need to find the equation of the line which is perpendicular to

 the line whose equation is y = x + 3 and passes through point (2 , -4)

- Find the slope of the given equation

∵ y = x + 3

- In this form the slope is the coefficient of x

∴ m = 1

- Find the slope of the perpendicular line

∵ The slope of the perpendicular line = -1/m

∴ The slope of it = -1/1 = -1

- Write the equation of the line with the value of the slope

∴ y = -x + b

- To find the value of b substitute x , y in the equation by the x and

  y of the given point

∵ The line passes through point (2 , -4)

∵ y = -x + b

∴ -4 = -1(2) + b

∴ -4 = -2 + b ⇒ add 2 for both sides

∴ b = -2

- Write the equation with the value of b

∴ y = -x - 2

1. This shape is called a parallelogram and it’s area formula is A=W*H, so you would plug in 12 1/3 for H and 17 1/5 for W. The answer would be 215yd.

2. This is a triangle and it’s area formula is A=1/2bh. Plug in 14 as H and 17 for b. The answer would be 119ft.
