#y=3x+72#

Explanation:

#"express "x+3y=18" in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"#

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#

#rArry=-1/3x+6#

#rArrm_(AB)=-1/3" and "E=(0,6)#

#"AD is perpendicular to AB "larrcolor(blue)"vertex of rectangle"#

#rArrm_(AD)=-1/m=-1/(-1/3)=3#

#"we require the coordinates of A to obtain the equation"#

#"we are given "AE=EB#

#y=0rArr-1/3x+6=0rArrx=18rArrB=(18,0)#

#rArrvec(BE)=ule-ulb=((0),(6))-((18),(0))=((-18),(6))#

#rArrvec(EA)=ula-ule=((-18),(6))#

#rArrula=((-18),(6))+((0),(6))=((-18),(12))#

#rArrA=(-18,12)#

#rArry-12=3(x+18)#

#rArry-12=3x+54#

#rArry=3x+42larrcolor(red)"equation of line M"#
