Answer:

y=2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation perpendicular to another one, you must find the negative inverse of the slope.

In this case, -1/2 has an inverse of -2, but because we're finding the negative inverse, the two negatives cancel out and we get 2, the slope of our perpendicular equation, which crosses the initial equation, making a right angle.

All the transformations for which A and B would be congruent are; Translation, Reflection, and Rotation.

<h3>What is congruence transformation?</h3>

A congruence transformation is defined as a movement of shape such that it can produce a shape that is congruent to the original.

There are three types of congruence transformation;

1. Translation

2. Reflection

3. Rotation

Given;

Shape B is made by applying a single transformation to shape A.

Hence, All the transformations for which A and B would be congruent are; Translation, Reflection, and Rotation.

The area of the scale drawing would be 1080 square centimeters or (1080 cm^2). I got this answer through first finding the area of the classroom in feet (which is A= lw = [18][20] = 360 ft^2) and then I proceeded to converting it to centimeters via given scale factor (3 cm = 1 foot) and had the answer of 1080 centimeters squared.
