we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then the product o their slopes is equal to minus one
so
Step 1
<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>
we have
-------> 
This line is parallel to the y-axis
so
the perpendicular will be parallel to the x-axis
Step 2
The equation of the line perpendicular to the given line is the y-coordinate of the given point
Point 
the equation is
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Neither one will ever hit the axis I think? if its x=3.5 then its horizontal but its above the x axis. Same with the second one. its vertical and will never hit the y axis. Not sure how to write that into those boxes but I think there isn't an intercept.
Answer:
0.833 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Volume of box = 1600
Heigh of box (H) = 8 inches
Let:
Width of box (W) = x
Length of box (L) = 2x
Volume of box = (Height * width * length)
1600 = (8 * x * 2x)
1600 = 16x²
x² = 1600/16
x² = 100
x = sqrt(100)
x = 10 inches
Hence, width of box in feet:
1 inch = 0.0833 feets
10 inches = (10 * 0.0833) feets
= 0.833 feets
The formula for volume is
V = Lenght x Width X Height
In your diagram, we have all 3 of these.
Length = 25 cm
Width = 12 cm
Height = 14 cm
To make it easier let's just convert all these to meters.
Length = 0.25 m
Width = 0.12 m
Height = 0.14 m
V = (0.25)(0.12)(0.14)
V = 0.0042 cubic meters
