A- Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. Therefore a perpendicular line to 2x-8 will have a slope of -1/2. Once solved in slope intercept form, choice A shows a line of slope -2/4, equivalent to -1/2

Answer:

Choice A is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find a equation of line which is perpendicular to y=2x-8.

The slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

y=mx+c is standard form of equation of line where m is slope and c is y-intercept.

given equation is :

y=2x-8

Compare above equation with standard form of equation of line,we get

m=2

The slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Hence,  m=-1/2

4y=-2x+2

dividing by 4 to both sides of above equation ,we get

Choice A is:

4y/4=-2x+2/4

y=-2/4x+2/4

y=-1/2x+1/2

hence,choice A has slope equal to -1/2.

4y=-2x+2 is equatio of line perpendicular to y=2x-8.

So,choice A is the answer.

How do I find x and y
Usimov [2.4K]
First you would have to find the third angle in the triangle which you would do by adding 63+61 and subtracting the resulting number from the total degrees in a triangle. From there, you would calculate x and y using the knowledge that angles on a line equal 180.

1) James needs to obtain $80,000 for his daughter's future college tuition. He is looking to invest in an
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

$ 50,340.97

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we can deduce that we are to find the Initial amount invested which is also called the Principal.

The formula to find Principal in a compound interest question is:

P = A / (1 + r/n)^nt

Where:

A = Total Amount obtained after invested = $80,000

r = Interest rate = 3.1% = 0.031

n = number of times interest in compounded = Quarterly = 4

t = time in years = 15

P = $80,000/(1 + 0.031/4)^4 × 15

P = $80,000/(1 +0.00775)^60

P = $ 50,340.97

Hence, James would have to invest $50,340.97 today to have $80,000 in 15 years.
