The answer is that 80 people will build the same road in 160 days.

Given that 50 people take 256 days to build a road.

And we need to find out how many days will 80 people take to build the same road.

Disclaimer: Assuming that the work done by all the people are same.

If the number of people increases, the time taken to build the road decreases in the same proportion. Clearly, the number of people varies inversely to the number of days.

Let x denote the number of days required to build the road for 80 people.

Then the ratio, 80/50 = 256/x

⇒ x = (256×50)/80 = 160

Therefore, 80 people will build the same road in 160 days.

Answer:

y = -4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have two lines in slope intercept form as

$y = m_1x + c_1 \text{ and}\\y = m_2x + c_2\\$

then the product of the slopes $m_1m_2 = -1$

In other words, $m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}$

We have the first line as

$y = \frac{1}{4}x + 5\\\\$

The slope of this line is $\frac{1}{4}$

The slope of a perpendicular line will be the negative of the reciprocal of this line

Reciprocal of 1/4 is 4

So slope of perpendicular line is -4 which implies

y = -4x + c

We have to determine c

Since the line passes through (-3, 8), plug in these values for x and y in the equation and solve for c

8 = (-4)(-3) + c

8 = 12 + c

c = -4

So the equation of the perpendicular line is y = -4x - 4 (Answer)

It is always a good idea to plot these graphs and see if they fit the data provided

The attached plot shows the two graphs and you can see they are perpendicular to each other and the perpendicular line(the answer) passes through point (-3,8)
