Is there a picture showing this question, if so could you show it.
KL + JK = 27
6x + 3x = 27
9x = 27
x = 27/9
x = 3
KL = 6x
KL = 6 × 3
KL = 18
When a line is perpendicular to another line, the slope is the negative reciprocal of the other line's slope. So in this case, the slope would be 1, since the negative reciprocal of -1 is 1/1 which is 1.
To find the y-intercept, you have to substitute the point (8,2) into y = mx + b
2 = 1(8) + b
b = -6
The equation is y = x - 6
So you gave yourself the own answer lol
