Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 15 inches and the width is 33 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions for the rectangle are as follows:

L=L and W=2L+3

The equation for perimeter of a rectangle is:

P=2l+2w

To Solve:

1. Plug values into perimeter equation

96=2(L)+2(2L+3)

2. Simplify the equation above.

96=2L+4L+6

3. Combine like terms:

96=6L+6

4. Solve for L by subtracting 6 from both sides:

90=6L

5. Solve for L by dividing both sides by 6:

15=L.

6. Plug 15 into the equation for the width:

2(15)+3=w

30+3=w.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines are lines whose slopes are negative reciprocals of each other

To find the slope of the line we are given, we can rearrange the equation

$4x - 5y = 4\\4x - 4 = 5y\\y = \frac{4}{5}(x) - \frac{4}{5}$

The slope of this line is $\frac{4}{5}$ , so the slope of the other line is $\frac{-5}{4}$

next, we can use the given point to find the equation $y = mx +b$

we know m, we can solve for b

$y = \frac{-5}{4}(x) + b\\-3 = \frac{-5}{4}(-2) + b\\-3 = \frac{5}{2} + b\\\frac{-6}{2} = \frac{5}{2} + b\\$

$b = \frac{-11}{2}$

$so,\\y = \frac{-5}{4}(x) - \frac{11}{2}$
