The equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 1/6 is: B. x = -8.

<h3>How to Find the Equation of Perpendicular Lines?</h3>

Perpendicular lines have slope values that equals -1 when multiplied together, that is, they are negative reciprocals.

Given the equation, y = 1/6, the slope is 0. This means it is a vertical line, therefore, the line that is perpendicular to it would automatically be a vertical line with an undefined slope which passes through (,8, -2).

The line therefore, would intercept the x-axis at -8. The equation would be: x = -8.

Equation of the perpendicular line is therefore: B. x = -8.

The New England patriots scored 9 points in the first half. In the second half they scored 3 less than 2 times the points in the

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

$S : T = 5 : 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the first half with F and the second with S

We have that:

$F = 9$ --- From the first statement

$S = 2F - 3$ --- From the next statement

Required

Determine the ratio of S to the total point

First, we need to determine the value of S

Substitute 9 for F in $S = 2F - 3$

$S = 2 * 9 - 3$

$S = 18 - 3$

$S = 15$

Next, we determine the total points

$Total = F + S$

$Total = 9 + 15$

$Total = 24$

The ratio of S to total is: (Represent total with T)

$S : T = 15 : 24$

Divide both ration by 3

$S : T = 15/3 : 24/3$

$S : T = 5 : 8$

<em>Hence, the ratio is 5 to 8</em>

NARA [144]

Answer:

26183

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The population of the city of Gary is 75,282. 34.78% of Gary residents have a higher education degree.

We need to find the no of people in Gary have a higher education degree. It can be simply calcualted by taking 34.78% of 75,282 as follows :

$P=75282\times 34.78\%\\\\ =75282\times \dfrac{34.78}{100}\\\\=26183.07$

P = 26183

So, there are 26183 people in Gary have a higher education degree.

I mark brainliest for all my questions that are answered right :) thx for helping me

The correct answer is y= 0.513(1.833)^x

Explain

We will use the equation on this form

Y=ab^x

Let’s us plug in the coordinates of first point

(X, y) , ( 9, 120)

We will have

Y=ab^x

120= ab^9

Our equation for a will be

Ab^9 = 120

ab ^9 / b^9 = 120/ b^9

a = 120/ b^9

So will have

Y= 120/ b^9 • b^x

Then we will plug in coordinates for the second point

( x,y) = ( 10, 220)

We will have

Y= 120/b^9 • b^x

220 = 120/b^9 • b^10-9

220= 120b

Divide both side by 120

B= 11/6

B= 1.833333 = 1.833

Let’s plug in the value b=11/6 to our equation for a

A= 120/b^9

A= 120/ 11/6^9

A= 120/11^9/6^9

A=120 • 6^9 / 11^9

= 0.51285 which equal to 0.513

So therefore the answer is

Y= 0.513(1.833)^x

I hope this help you
