Select the equation in slope-intercept form for the line through points (5, - 3) and (10, - 2) and is perpendicular to the line described by y = - 5x + 4

y = x/5 - 4

second option is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -5x+4

y = mx+b

m = -5

Now

Slope of the line perpendicular to a line would be the negative proprtional of the slope of the line.

so,

For the points (5,-3) and (10,-2)

m = 1/5

y = mx + b

or, -3 = 1/5 × x + b

or, -3 = 1/5 × 5 + b

or, -3 = 1+b

so, b = -4

Now,

y = mx+b

or, y = 1/5 × x + (-4)

or, y = x/5 - 4

y=mx+b is the final answer!   : )

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
