What is the equation of the line that has a y-intercept of -7 and is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation below

Mathematics

8x + 7y = 19
- 8x
7y = 19 - 8x
÷ 7
y = 2 5/7 - 8/7x
So if that line is perpendicular to the line you're looking for, then the gradient (x value/slope) is the negative reciprocal to the gradient you're looking for, which would then be 7/8. You are told it has a y intercept of -7, so your final answer is:
y = -7/8x - 7
Hope this helps!

How many home runs did each player hit the season
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Let Peter's hit be x and Alice's runs be y.
x = 2(y - 6) . . . (1)
x + y = 18 . . . (2)

Putting (1) into (2) gives,
2y - 12 + y = 18
3y = 18 + 12 = 30
y = 30/3 = 10
x = 2(10 - 6) = 2(4) = 8

Therefore, Peter hit 8 home runs and Alice hit 10 home runs.
