Answer:

y=-1/3x +29/3

Step-by-step explanation

We know that the line perpendicular to a slope of 3 is it's opposite reciprocal. So the slope is -1/3. Substitute -5 as X and 8 as Y so you get:

8= -5/3x +b.

B= 29/3

That's your answer.

the width of the morros in shannon's bathroom is 4/9 its length. The area of the mirror is 576 square inches. What are the dimen

fredd [130]

W=4L/9

A=LW, using W found above gives us

A=L(4L/9)

A=4L^2/9 and we were told that A=576 so

4L^2/9=576 multiply both sides by 9

4L^2=5184 divide both sides by 4

L^2=1296 take the square root of both sides

L=36, and we know that W=4L/9 so

W=4(36/9)=16

So the dimensions are: width=16in and length=36in
