Answer:

y= -\frac{1}{2}x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's put the line in y=mx+b form

8x-4y=12

Subtract 8x over

-4y= -8x+12

Then divide everything by -4

y=2x-3

To find the perpendicular slope, negate the slope and flip the numerator and the denominator

Original Slope: 2/1

Flip: 1/2

Negate: -1/2

Then, use the point slop formula to find the equation of the line.

(y-y_{1\\})=m(x-x_{1})

Insert (0,0) in for x_{1}  y_{1} and -1/2 in for m

y-0= -1/2(x-0)

Distribute the -1/2

y-0= -1/2x+0

Add the 0 over

y= -1/2x

Please help:<br> In Δ ABC, sin A=88, sin B=42, and a =17, find the length of b.
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the law of sines.

\frac{sin A}{a} = \frac{sin B}{b} \\

Plug values in.

\frac{sin88}{17} = \frac{sin42}{b}\\

Cross multiply.

bsin88 = 17sin42\\b = 11.38

Hope that helps.
