The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5 will be -1/8.

<h3>What is the slope of perpendicular lines?</h3>

Suppose that first straight line has slope 's'

Let another straight line be perpendicular to this first line.

Let its slope be 'a'

Then due to them being perpendicular, they have their slopes' multiplication as -1

or

s x a = -1

s = -1/ a

Slope of line y = 8x + 5

s = 8

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5

8 x a = -1

a = -1/8

Thus, the slope is -1/8.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!

Jackie wants to keep her total work time <em>under </em>20 hours, so we can set up a rough inequality right away:

(work time in hours) < 20

Now, it's going to take here 1/2 = 0.5 hours to finish each necklace, an 1 hour to finish each bracelet, so if she's making x necklaces, it'll take her 0.5x hours to make all of them, and if she's making y bracelets, it'll take her 1y = y hours to finish those. Putting the two together, it'll take her 0.5x + y hours altogether to make the necklaces and bracelets. Putting that together with our first inequality, we get the final inequality

0.5x + y < 20

The equation y = 0.25x + 50 gives the cost y of renting a car if the car is driven x miles
iogann1982 [59]
C. $112.50

y=0.25x+50

x = 250 miles

0.25*250=62.50

62.50+50= $112.50
