For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1, and in this case:
-m/4=-1
-m=-4
m=4, so the slope of the perpendicular line is 4 so we have thus far:
y=4x+b, using point (-4,3) we can solve for the y-intercept, "b"
3=4(-4)+b
3=-16+b
19=b, so our line is:
y=4x+19

Answer:
66 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the measures of <em>all</em> of the sides. There are two side measures that are missing from the diagram.
The missing horizontal measure is ...
17 m - 8 m = 9 m
The missing vertical measure is ...
16m -7 m = 9 m.
If you add these to the sum you already calculated, you will get the correct answer:
48 m + 9 m + 9 m = 66 m . . . perimeter of the figure
_____
If you're paying attention, you see that the sum of the measures of the two shorter horizontal segments is the same as the measure of the longer horizontal segment. Likewise, the sum of the measurements of the two shorter vertical segments is the same as that of the longer vertical segment.
In other words, the perimeter of this (and any) L-shaped figure is the same as the perimeter of a rectangle having the same horizontal and vertical dimensions as the long sides of the figure.
P = 2(17 m +16 m) = 2(33 m) = 66 m
If the time she rode her bike is 24, then 24*3 would be the Whole time she was there. She was there for a total of 72 hours.
Subtract 24 from 72 because it's 1/3 and you need the other time.
You get 48.
You need to find 1/4 of 48, so you divide it by 4.
48/4 = 12.
She rides the train for 12 hours. This is 1/2 of a day, so your answer is:
She rides the train for 1/2 of a day.
