Slope intercept form is 
, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.
Subtract 6x to both sides:
Divide 5 to both sides:
Subtract 6x to both sides:
Divide 5 to both sides:
You are planning the scale model of a town that you will build. For now, you are laying everything out on a coordinate plane as
shown. You want to draw Wooster Street so that it is perpendicular to Main Street. You know that Wooster Street will pass through the point (-3, 8.75). Find the equation of the line for Wooster Street so that it is perpendicular to Main Street. Explain your reasoning

Rotation and translation are rigid transformations, they don't change figure sizes. Dilation change figure sizes increasing or decreasing them by scale factor.
First, find AB and A'B' by the formula:
As you can see AB=2A'B'. This means that the segment AB was decreased twice to form segment A'B'. Then the scale factor is 1/2.
