  -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line can be found by solving for y.

  2y -3x = 8

  2y = 3x +8 . . . . add 3x

  y = 3/2x +4 . . . . divide by 2

The slope is the coefficient of x: 3/2. For the perpendicular line, the slope is the opposite reciprocal of this:

  -1/(3/2) = -2/3

The slope of a perpendicular line is -2/3.

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
