Well the slope of a perpendicular line is the other slope flipped upside down and the sign changed so m = -3
Then you put the info you have into the equation
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Y - (-8) = -3(x-5)
Y + 8= -3x + 15
Y = -3x + 7
And you can leave it like that or change the order of the numbers if you'd like! (Don't forget to change the sign if you move something over the = sign!! )

1)Parallel means they have to have the same slope. Since our equation is y=2/3x+1, a line parallel to that would be(using out points) -5=2/3(-4)+b.

To find the y-intercept, solve for "b".

b=-7/3

Our equation would then be y=2/3x-7/3

2)Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes. our previous equation was y=2/3x+1, so our new equation would be -5=-3/2(-4)+b. Now lets solve for b.

b=-11

So our perpendicular equation would be y=-3/2x-11

Hope that was helpful. :)

PLZ HELP FAST WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!

#1,4 are biased because the number range is too wide. (include #2 if the question allows)
#1: 31-20 = 11
#2: 29-21 = 8
#3: 30-23 = 7
#4: 50-15 = 35 (OMG that's so biased!)

so if the three surveys are eliminated, then the answer to the second question is 23%.

Hope that helps :)
