An older automobile has a fan belt assembly that is the shape of an isosceles triangle. The two equal sides are 12.0 inches each, and the third side is 9.0 inches. An older truck has a similar fan belt arrangement, but we isosceles triangle has Width 18.0 inches. What is the length, in inches, of the two equal sides of the triangle?

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)

yes

step-by-step explanation:

yes
