Brett painted three walls. each wall was 9 ft tall and 12 ft long. how much wall area did he paint

First we need to calculate the are of each wall, since we alredy knew the length (l) and the width (w) which is the height of the wall in this case:

A = wl = 9 . 12 = 108 (ft²)

We also know that he painted 3 walls, we need to multiply our first result by 3, in other words, the area of wall that Brett painted is the sum of the area of three walls: 108 . 3 = 324 (ft²)

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
