Number of students on the bus = 54
Students who will go to lunch first are =
of 54
=
Hence, 36 students will go first for lunch.
Answer:
y = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x = - 1 is the equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis
The equation of a line perpendicular to it will therefore be a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis with equation
y = c
where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.
The line passes through (8, - 4 ) with y- coordinate - 4 , then
y = - 4 ← equation of perpendicular line
Step-by-step explanation:
in such a case the easiest approach might be using the point-slope form of a line equation :
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
with m being the slope, and (x1, y1) being a point on the line.
so, in our case that would be
y - 8 = 8(x - 4)
simplified this would be
y - 8 = 8x - 32
y = 8x - 24
FYI - this would be then the slope-intercept form (-24 would be the intercept point on the y-axis).
