The answer is y = -1/5x + 5

Perpendicular means the opposite reciprocal of the slope. The reciprocal of 5 would be 1/5. The opposite sign would be negative, so -1/5.

The equation that you use is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

The point is (-15,8).

x1 = -15
y1= 8
m= -1/5

y - 8 = -1/5(x - (-15)).

The 15 becomes positive.

y - 8 = -1/5(x+15)

Distribute

y - 8 = -1/5x - 3

Add 8 to both sides

y = -1/5x + 5

Can someone help me with this?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = length * width

                             = (x + 4) (5x)

                             = x *5x + 4 *5x

                            = 5x² + 20x

Perimeter of rectangle = 2*(length + width)

                                     = 2*(x + 4 + 5x)

                                     = 2*(6x + 4)

                                   = 2*6x + 2 *4

                                     = 12x + 8
