Answer:

y=-1/4x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a line, you would take the opposite reciprocal of the slope.

Before that, we need to change the equation into slope-intercept form.

-4x+y=10

y=4x+10

The opposite reciprocal of the slope is -1/4.

Now, let's use the point-slope formula to find our equation of the line that passes through (-4,9).

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-9=-1/4(x-(-4))

y-9=-1/4x-1

y=-1/4x+8

Nesterboy [21]

Total area of the rectangular land = 2^15 sq. miles
= 32768 sq. miles

total area of the pieces being sold = 8^3 sq. miles
= 512 sq. miles

now total no. of pieces = total area of the land / the area of samaller land that's being sold
= 32768 / 512
= 64

so the actual number of pieces is 64

Answer:

7 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to get there.

2.25×3.5 = 7.875 = 7 7/8

(2 1/4)(3 1/2) = (9/4)(7/2) = 63/8 = 7 7/8

(2 1/4)(3.5) = 2(3.5) +(1/4)(3.5) = 7 + (2·3.5)/(2·4) = 7 +7/8 = 7 7/8
