36 inches=2 feet
72 inches= 4 feet
If you are talking about y as in y = mx + b then i can help you.
Let’s use this example:
3x + 4y + 2 = 16
What you first need to do is get y alone on one side of the equation. The way we do this is by subtracting 2 from both sides. That gives us 3x + 4y = 14
After this let’s move the x over to the other side into point slope form. 4y = -3x + 14
Now just divide everything by 4.
The answer is y = -3/4x + 7/2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the given line
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

we have
(-2,5) and (-4,8)
substitute the values in the formula



step 2
Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)
so

----> slope of the given line
therefore
---> slope of the perpendicular line to the given line
step 2
Find the equation of the line in point slope form

we have


substitute

step 3
Convert to slope intercept form

isolate the variable y
