Answer:

y = -2x + 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the perpendicular line = -1 / slope of the given line

= -1 / 1/2 = -2.

Using the point slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 8 = -2(x - 4)

y - 8 = -2x + 8

y = -2x + 16  is the required equation.

A line passes through the point (2, 3) and has an undefined slope, what is the equation of the line? A) y = 2 B) y = 3 C) x = 2
Harman [31]
"Undefined" slope means the line is vertical, of the form x = constant. The constant is the x-value of the point the line goes through.

C) x = 2

a triangle has two angles that measure 47° and 67° what is the measure of the third angle in this triangle
Anna007 [38]
The answer to your math question is 66°.
Adding 47° and 67° is 114°.
Subtracting 114° from 180° equals 66°.

Akimi4 [234]
Let
x-------------->  the number of slices eating by Consuela  and her <span>three friends

we know that
[total slices]=8*2=16 slices
</span><span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]=2
x=16-2=14 slides
</span><span>Consuela and her friends share the rest of the pizza, each eating the same number of slices---------> 14/4= 3.5 slides of pizza each  (</span><span>this part is not necessary, but it is shown in a didactic way)
</span><span>
the question is 
</span><span>What fraction of the 2 pizzas is left over?
</span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]/[total slices]=2/16=1/8
<span>
the answer is (1/8)
