Answer:

y = -3x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the reciprocal slope since it is perpendicular.  Slope of the other line is 1/3 so the slope for our new equation is -3.  

Plug information into point-slope equation

(y - y1) = m (x-x1)

y - 2 = -3 (x-4)

Simplify if needed

y - 2 = -3x + 12

y = -3x + 14

Answer:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite and reciprocal. Therefore, the line we are looking for has a -3 slope.

y= -3x+b

Now, we can substitute in the point given to find the intercept.

2= -3(4)+b

2= -12+b

b=14

Finally, put in everything we've found to finish the equation.

y= -3x+14

The triangle shown below has an area of 16 units^2<br> Find x.
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

8 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the formula of a triangle

base*height divided by 2

So, we know that the base is 4.

We have to work backwards.

16*2 is 32

32 divided by 4 is 8.

Now let's see

8*4 is 32 divided by 2 is 16!

Hope you understand :)
