Maggie makes a scale drawing of a deck. The scale for the actual deck to the scale drawing is 7 ft to 1 in. The dimensions of the deck are 28 ft by 17.5 ft. What are the dimensions of the deck in the
drawing? Show your work.

The width is 2.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is 7 ft to 1 in

Now we will have 17.5 to x in

x * 7 = 17.5 * 1

7x = 17.5

x = 17.5/7

x = 2.5 inches

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
