Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:   from the equation,  x-y=8,  make  y the subject of the formulae , this gives - y=  -x +8

divide all through by (-) sign, this gives   y= x - 8

from the last equation above, the slope is the coefficient of x which is 1. since it is perpendicula, the answer is -1

by co efficient, we mean the number multiplying the unknown

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange x - y = 8 into this form by subtracting x from both sides

- y = - x + 8 ( multiply through by - 1 )

y = x - 8 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = -  \frac{1}{1} = - 1 → D

When y=2 and y=5

1. 2y-1 and (3y-5+y or 4y-5)
when y=2 ; 2(2)-1 = 3 and 4(2)-5=3
when y=5 ; 2(5)-1 = 9 and 4(5)-5=15

----nonequivalent-----

2.5y+4 and (7y+4-2y or 5y+4)
so you don't have to place any value in because 5y+4 and 7y+4-2y are equal,
whatever you place any value in, it will be all the same then

-----equivalent------

and no need to find more

If mark got 6 questions out of 40 incorrect what percent of the questions did he get correct?
kap26 [50]
So if 6 out of 40 are incorrect, 40-6= 36 must be correct.
In order to gain percentage you do proportions.
36/40 = x/100.
Multiply 36 times 100 then divide by 40, which is 90.
The answer is 90%.
90% of the questions he got were correct.

WARRIOR [948]

Step-by-step explanation:

First put it in point slope for y = mx + b

y = -2x + 5

Now plug in what ever number you want for x and solve.
