Answer:
The area of the piece of construction paper is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of construction paper =
=
Width of construction paper = 
= 
Area of construction paper =
Area of construction paper = 
= 
Hence the area of the piece of construction paper is 
Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.
The point nearest the origin is (a,b).
The line from the origin through the point is

The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):


That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:


In the first quadrant the signs would be (x,y) in the second quadrant they would be (-x,y) in the third (-x,-y) and the fourth (x,-y)
