THE ANSWER IS: y=1/2x+4

to find a perpendicular line, get the reciprocal of the slope and multiply by -1
so since the given slope is -2, the reciprocal is -1/2 and multiply by -1 to get 1/2

then put the new slope and the given point into point slope form of a linear equation which is: (y-y1)=m(x-x1)
m=slope= 1/2
given point (x1,y1) = (4,6)
(y-6)=1/2(x-4)

you can multiply this out or get standard form:
y-6=1/2x-2
y=1/2+4

We are interested in the dimensions of a certain rectangle. this rectangle has length twice the side of the square and width thr

Mila [183]

Area of square = s^2
Area of Rectangle = lw
l = 2s

w+3 = s
solve for w, w=s-3
Now we have l and w.
Plug both into area of rectangle formula so: (2s)(s-3)
Since both areas are equal set both equations equal to each other:
(2s)(s-3)=s^2
Now simplify
2s^2-6s=s^2
s^2-6s=0, Solve for s.
Factor polynomial. s(s-6)=0 , s can be equal to 0 or 6. HOWEVER, you cannot have a side length of 0 therefore the side length has to be 6.
Now plug in s for the length formula for the rectangle:
l = 2s so... l = 2(6) so length of rectangle = 12.
Now plug in s for the width formula for the rectangle:
w+3=s so... w+3=6 so width of rectangle = 3.
Now the dimensions of the rectangle are 12 by 3. 12 being length and 3 width.
To CHECK:
Find area of rectangle:
A=lw so A=3 times 12 so A=36
Find area of square:
We know the side is equal to 6 so
A=s^2 so 6^2 = 36
The areas are equal that verifies the answer of 12 by 3.
