Step 1: Find the area of wallpaper to be covered by calculating the area of the wall and subtracting the areas of the window, mirror and fireplace from it. All are rectangular in shape with are given by A = length × width

Area of the wall = 8 × 16 = 128 ft²

Area of the window = 18/12 × 14 = 1.5 × 14 = 21 ft² (since 1 ft = 12 in)

Area of the fireplace = 5 × 3 = 15 ft²

Area of the mirror = 4 × 2 = 8 ft²

Step 2: Calculate the area to be painted or covered with wallpaper

Area of the wall to be covered with paint or wallpaper = 128 - (21 + 15 + 8)

= 128 - 44

= 84 ft²

The slope-intercept form given (6,-5) & perpendicular to -5x - 7y = -17.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

$y=\dfrac{7}{5}x-\dfrac{67}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a linear equation:

$y=mx+b$

where:

m is the slope.
b is the y-intercept.

Rearrange the given equation so that it is in slope-intercept form:

$\implies -5x-7y=-17$

$\implies -7y=5x-17$

$\implies y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+\dfrac{17}{7}$

Therefore, the slope of the given equation is -⁵/₇.

If two lines are perpendicular to each other (at right angles), the product of their slopes will be -1. Therefore, their slopes will be negative reciprocals of each other.

Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to the given equation is:

$\sf m=\dfrac{7}{5}$
