Ok so first you would create a proportion.
8/x=4/1. Next you cross multiply and divide,
1 • 8÷4=x. Ratios are fractions with the first number being the numerator and the second being the denominator. If you think of it this way, you just find an equivalent fraction. Your answer would be 8:2 because in your proportion x=2.
(2x100) (3x10) (2x1) / (4x1)
FASLE!!! because -23+611=588
Parallel lines will never touch each other while perpendicular forms like an X shape. The slope for the parallel is the same while the perpendicular is a negative reciprocal. (Ex for negative reciprocal. 2/4=4/2)
