Answer: y = -4x + 1 or y = 1 - 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to find the slope of the perpendicular. The slope of the line perpendicular to the other is the <u>reciprocal and opposite value</u> of the other line's slope.
This means that the slope perpendicular to y = 1/4x + 2 is -4, or -4/1.
Now we need to find the y-intercept, to do that we will use the equation y = mx + b. m = slope, b = y-intercept.
Plug in the values.
1 = -4(0) + b
Simplify.
1 = 0 + b
1 = b
Our y-intercept is 1.
Now we can form the slope-intercept equation for the line perpendicular to y = 1/4x + 2 that passes through the point (0, 1).
y = -4x + 1
So this is considered a "special triangle." The 30-60-90 triangle states that if the short leg is x, then the hypotenuse is 2x and the long leg is x√3.
Since we have the short leg, to find the hypotenuse, or y in this case, multiply the short leg by 2:
17 × 2 = 34
Next, to find the long leg, or x in this case, multiply the short leg by √3:
17 × √3 = 17√3
<u>In short, x = 17√3 and y = 34. The correct option is the last option.</u>

Use slope intercept form for equation, which is y = mx +b. m is slope and b is the y-intercept.
Find slope by change in y over change in x. So pick two points, for example (0, 24) and (2, 20). Slope (m) will be
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (24-20)/(0-2)
= 4/-2
m = -2
Y-intercept is 24.
Equation is y = -2x + 24
The width is 8. The length is 10 so 10+10 equals 20. You subtract 20 from 36 you get 16. 16/2 is 8. If you add 8+8+10+10 you get 36.
