EXPLANATION
Let us find the gradient of the line:
by rewriting it in the slope intercept form.
We divide through by 4 now;
This is now in the form;
where
is he slope.
This implies that the slope of the line that is perpendicular to this line will be the negative reciprocal of .
Thus the perpendicular line has slope,
.
Let the perpendicular line have equation,
When we substitute the slope we have;
We substitute the point. 
to find c.
We substitute c to obtain;

Answer:
1125 calories
Step-by-step explanation:
3000 divided in 8 slices is 375 calories per piece.
3 pieces with 375 cals per 1125
Narrowing it down it's either a or c because the other 2 choices open downward (negative a).
Graphing the 2 parabolas choice c is narrower.
c
Formula to find the slope:
m = y2-y1 / x2-x1
(4,3); (8,5)
m= 5-3 / 8-4
m = 2/4
m = 1/2
Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through these points is 1/2
The perimeter of a triangle is:
P = a + b + c
We are given that:
b = a + 3
c = 2 a – 3
Therefore:
68 = a + a + 3 + 2 a – 3
68 = 4 a
a = 17
and,
b = a + 3 = 20
<span>c = 2a – 3 = 31</span>
