Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find a perpendicular line, start by finding the equation for this line. To do so, solve for y.

y - 12 = 2x - 8

y = 2x + 4

Now that we have this, we know the slope is 2. Since we are looking for a perpendicular line, we take the opposite and reciprocal, which gives out new line a slope of -1/2. We can use this and the point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = -1/2(x - 2)

y - 3 = -1/2x + 1

y = -1/2x + 4

First, we can add 12 to both sides to get..
y=2x+4 
To get a perpendicular line, we have to take the reciprocal of the current slope and turn it to the opposite sign (ex: if it is positive, make it negative, if it is negative, make it positive) 
y= -(1/2)x+4
To make sure it passes through the points (2,3) we substitute x=2 and y=3 (x,y) 
3= -(1/2)2 +4
3= (-1) + 4
3=3
Now we know the equation is working
y= -(1/2)x + 4

Hello,

\sqrt{x} - \sqrt{y} = (\sqrt[4]{x}+ \sqrt[4]{y} )( \sqrt[4]{x} - \sqrt[4]{y} )=72\\\\
\sqrt[4]{x}- \sqrt[4]{y}=6\\\\
(\sqrt[4]{x}+ \sqrt[4]{y})*6=72\\\\
\sqrt[4]{x}+ \sqrt[4]{y}=12 \\ 
\sqrt[4]{x}- \sqrt[4]{y}=6 \\\\
2 \sqrt[4]{x}=18==\textgreater\sqrt[4]{x}=9==\textgreater\ x=6561\\
2 \sqrt[4]{y}=6==\textgreater\sqrt[4]{y}=3==\textgreater\ y=81\\



Proof:
\sqrt[4]{6561} - \sqrt[4]{81} =9-3=6\\\\
 \sqrt{6561} - \sqrt{81} =81-9=72

David is filling five 3/4 quart bottles with a sports drink. His measuring cup only holds 1/4 quart. How many times will David n
OleMash [197]
Well if he is filling one 3/4 quart bottle, then he must fill his measuring cup 3 times, so just multiply it by 5, and you have 15.

David needs to fill the measuring cup 15 times.

June has a savings account with an annual simple interest rate of 2.6%. She hopes to gain $6,500 in interest over a period of el
leonid [27]
\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\qquad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\to &\$6500\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\\
r=rate\to 2.6\%\to \frac{2.6}{100}\to &0.026\\
t=years\to &3
\end{cases}

she should have invested P, in order to get I = 6500

but she instead invested 17,801, how much more did she need? well, P - 17801

solve for P
