Answer: Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the slope-intercept form y=mx+b to find the line perpendicular to y=1/5x−1. y=−5x−17
Let

be the length of the rectangle and

be the width. In the problem it is given that

. It is also given that the area

. Substituting in the length in terms of width, we have

. Using the zero product property,

. Solving these we get the width

. However, it doesn't make sense for the width to be negative, so the width must be

. From that we can tell the length

.

Step-by-step explanation:
(1,5) (5,8)
x,y. x,y
Formula: <u>y2-y1</u>
x2-x1
so...
<u>8-5</u><u>=</u> <u>3</u>
5-1 = 4
so... <u>3</u>
