You are constructing a fenced in lot like in Example 1 of the slides. However, you need the lot to have two compartments, so you will add in a separator perpendicular to the alley (and parallel to the side labeled y). Assuming you still have 500 linear feet of fence, what dimensions will now create the largest area lot?

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

i think the answer is true
