Answer:

y = 7x/8 - 53/8

Step-by-step explanation:

P(3,-4)

x = -7y/8 + 3

Isolate y and translate to slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

x = -7y/8 + 3

x - 3 = -7y/8

8x - 24 = -7y

y = -8x/7 - 24/7

The slope of the equation is -8/7

The slope of the new equation will be perpendicular to the slope of the given equation which means it is the negative reciprocal.

y = mx + b where m = -1/(-8/7) = 7/8

y = 7x/8 + b

Plug in know values and solve for b:

-4 = 7(3)/8 + b = 21/8 + b

-4 - 21/8 = b

b = -32/8 -21/8 = -53/8

Plug in b into the equation:

y = 7x/8 - 53/8

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area for triangle A is 12 Triangle B is 12 triangle C is 12

The area is related to the base and it's corresponding height because they all equal each other. The triangle has added on parts and it shows they are all equal but are in a different direction.

The area of the shaded triangle is 18 because the base is 6 and the height is 6.

A, B, E
