Answer:

-1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals

The slope of y=8x+5 is 8, because it is in slope intercept form: y=mx+b form, where m is the slope.

Negative:

8/1--> -8/1

Reciprocal:

Flip the numerator and denominator

-8/1--> -1/8

So, the perpendicular slope of 8 is -1/8

attashe74 [19]

The triangle has one angle of 100 degrees, and the other two are equal.
We know that the angles of a triangle always add up to 180. To find the measurement of angle 1 and 2, let's solve for this equation.
2x + 100 = 180, where x=angle 1 = angle 2. Subtract 100 from both sides
2x = 80 Divide both sides by 2
x = 40
