Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope=change in y/change in x

Y-values: 8 and -4

X-values: 4 and 2

Change is the difference in position (subtract)

8- (-4)/(4-2)=12/2=6 = first slope

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slope

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

$3:5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite this as a fraction to see easier:

$\frac{36}{60}$

You can divide both numbers by 12, the GCF:

$\frac{36}{60}= \frac{3}{5}$

Rewrite as a ratio:

$3:5$

<em>Finito.</em>

<em />

Make 36:60 equivalent to _:50

With the simplified version of 36:60, 3:5, Multiply both sides by ten to get 5 to 50:

$3*10:5*10\\30:50$

Done.
