When a line is perpendicular to another line, the slope is the negative reciprocal of the other line's slope. So in this case, the slope would be 1, since the negative reciprocal of -1 is 1/1 which is 1.

To find the y-intercept, you have to substitute the point (8,2) into y = mx + b

2 = 1(8) + b

b = -6

The equation is y = x - 6

Y=-x
Gradient=-1

(8,2) x=8 and y=2

Perpendicular lines of them:

x=1/-8 and y=-0.5

Put them into a basic line equation

-0.5=(-1x-0.125)+c —> -0.5= 0.125+c —>
-0.375=c

The equation is y=-x - 0.375

Please explain how to get the answer

Q must be positive in F.

F. r squared will be positive, because any number times itself is positive, and to get a positive number for the answer, the two numbers you multiply need to be the same sign. If r squared is positive, q must be too. 

G. q does not have to be positive. If r is a negative number, then q can be negative. Say q=-2 and r=-3. -2-(-3) changes to -2+3, which equals 1.

H. Again, q can be negative if r is negative (two negative numbers multiplied together equals a positive answer.

J. q can be negative because even a negative number turns positive when squared.

Hope this helped you. :)

Marvin has a vintage comic book worth $351. According to a dealer, the value of this particular comic book will increase by 12.1
White raven [17]
Y = 12.1% x 13 + 351
y= 0.012 x 13 + 351
y= 1.573 + 351
y= 352.573 or $352.6
