Answer:

y=-2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you make the equation in y=mx+b form

x-2y=8

-2y=-x+8

y=1/2x-4

Then find the perpendicular line by finding the opposite reciprocal of the slope.

y=-2x-4

What are the values of k that make 2x^2 + kx + 11 factorable?

harina [27]

Well K is the sum of two integers so the product equals 2*11, as a Hero pointed out:
ac=2*11=22 k=sum of two integers so now it = to 22

I hope this helps :D

The population in the current year is 31.5 million and the real GDP is $814 million. The previous year's statistics were a popul

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The change in the standard of living, measured by growth in real GDP per person, is 0.1356%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

In the current year,

Population = 31.5 million,

Real GDP = $814 million,

So, the real GDP per person = $\frac{814}{31.5}$ ≈ 25.841

In the previous year,

Population = 31 million,

Real GDP = $800 million,

So, the real GDP per person = $\frac{800}{31}$ ≈ 25.806

Hence, change percentage = $\frac{\text{Change in GDP per person}}{\text{Previous year GDP per person}}\times 100$

$=\frac{25.841-25.806}{25.806}\times 100$

$=\frac{0.035}{25.806}\times 100$

$=\frac{3.5}{25.806}$

≈ 0.1356 %
