To find the equation of the line that represents the perpendicular wall, we need to find the slope of the original wall, which is given by the equation y = 3x + 2.
The slope of this line is equal to its coefficient of x, which is 3.
The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is equal to the negative reciprocal of the slope of that line.
Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular wall is -1/3.
Since the wall passes through the point (6, -8), we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is the given point.
Plugging in the values, we get:
y - (-8) = (-1/3)(x - 6)
y + 8 = (-1/3)x + 2
y = (-1/3)x - 6 - 8
y = (-1/3)x - 14
Therefore, the equation of the line that contains the new wall is y = (-1/3)x - 14.
plans for a stadium are drawn on a coordinate grid. One wall lies on the line y=3x+2. A perpendicular wall passes through the point (6, -8) write the equation of the line that contains the new wall.

B) 84
C) 77
D) 103
A) 106
B) 84
C) 77
D) 103
To find m<1, we need to use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
m<1 + m<2 + m<3 = 180
Substituting the given values:
m<1 + 36 + 70 = 180
Combining like terms:
m<1 + 106 = 180
To solve for m<1, we subtract 106 from both sides of the equation:
m<1 = 180 - 106
m<1 = 74
Therefore, m<1 is 74 degrees.
None of the given options (A, B, C, D) match the correct answer of 74.
m<1 + m<2 + m<3 = 180
Substituting the given values:
m<1 + 36 + 70 = 180
Combining like terms:
m<1 + 106 = 180
To solve for m<1, we subtract 106 from both sides of the equation:
m<1 = 180 - 106
m<1 = 74
Therefore, m<1 is 74 degrees.
None of the given options (A, B, C, D) match the correct answer of 74.
That's not an option-
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve for m<1 again:
m<1 + m<2 + m<3 = 180
m<1 + 36 + 70 = 180
m<1 + 106 = 180
Subtracting 106 from both sides of the equation:
m<1 = 180 - 106
m<1 = 74

The options are 106, 84, 77, or 103, please choose the answer out of those.
Apologies for the misunderstanding. Let's go through the calculations again using the given options.
m<1 + m<2 + m<3 = 180
m<1 + 36 + 70 = 180
m<1 + 106 = 180
Subtracting 106 from both sides of the equation:
m<1 = 180 - 106
m<1 = 74
The closest option to 74 is 77.
Therefore, the answer is:
C) 77
m<1 + m<2 + m<3 = 180
m<1 + 36 + 70 = 180
m<1 + 106 = 180
Subtracting 106 from both sides of the equation:
m<1 = 180 - 106
m<1 = 74
The closest option to 74 is 77.
Therefore, the answer is:
C) 77
