Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

You want them to be in the same form first (aka y=mx+b)

y=7x+2 is already in that form so you just need to change x+7y=8. First subtract x from both sides and then divide both sides by 7 to get y by itself:

x+7y=8

7y=-x +8

y= -x/7 + 8/7

To be able to tell if a line is perpendicular or not is to look at the slope: if the slope of one equation is the "opposite" version of the other, they are perpendicular.

The slopes are -x/7 and 7x so yes, they are perpendicular

** if they're parallel they will have the same slope and if they are neither they won't have a similar slope at all

Write an expression that represents "the sum of x and 8". x - 8 8x x + 8
Alexxx [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

The expression that represents "the sum of x and 8" is x + 8

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, a sentence “the sum of x and 8”

Now, we have to write an expression that represents the above given line and check the correct option.

So, now, let us take the given expression and convert it into the polynomial form.

Take, “the sum of x and 8" → sum of x and 8 → x + 8.

Here "+" denotes sum or addition.

Hence, expression for “the sum of x and 8” is x + 8 and option c is correct.

The Ratio of boys to girls at a middle school is 3:2. If the school has 400 people how many will be boys?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
You have to divide 400 by 5. That will equal 80. Since the ratio is 3:2 Just multiply 3 by 80 then 2 by 80! :-) 

You can check it by simplifying it again.
