She added 4 inches to the width. Therefore, to ensure equivalence, she would add 4 to the length. You get 12in.
-x + 2y = 4
2y = x + 4
y = 1/2x + 2.....slope here is 1/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -2 (see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign)
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(-2,1)...x = -2 and y = 1
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
1 = -2(-2) + b
1 = 4 + b
1 - 4 = b
-3 = b
so ur perpendicular line is : y = -2x - 3
Get a common denominator. Which is 24. So the answer is going to be 11/24 or in decimal form: -0.4583
Its simple, convert 1 and 2/3 into a fraction which is 5/3 and use KCF which is Keep Change and Flip,
How this works is that you keep the first fraction, then change the division sign to a multiplication sign (Change = change the sign into its oppisite) then flip the other fraction from being 5/3 into 3/5. And then you multiply top times top and bottom times bottom. After that you simplify if you can, Hope this helped!
