Fill in the blanks to complete the equation that describes the diagram.

There is a line with slope 1/a going through the point (a, a²). find the equation of the line perpendicular to this line at this point. (don’t let this problem intimidate you! solve the problem as you would if i’d given you specific values. just use variables instead.)

Part a: sam rented a boat at $225 for 2 days. if he rents the same boat for 5 days, he has to pay a total rent of $480. write an equation in the standard form to represent the total rent (y) that sam has to pay for renting the boat for x days. (4 points)
