<u>ANSWER: </u>

The slope intercept form of the required line is y = -2x + 20.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, line equation is $y=\frac{1}{2} x-8$

And, Perpendicular line to the given line  passes through (7,-6).  

We need to find the slope intercept form of perpendicular line of given line.  

We already have the point (7, -6) but we need to find the slope.

Now, we know that, product of slopes of two perpendicular lines equals to -1.

Slope of given line is \frac{1}{2}, by comparing with the general form of slope intercept form.

\frac{1}{2} \times slope of required line = -1

Slope of perpendicular line = -2

Now, line equation of perpendicular line in point slope form is

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

y – (-6) = -2(x – 7)

y + 6 = -2x + 14

y = -2x + 20

the above equation is in the form of slope intercept form of a line equation  

where slope m = -2 and intercept c = 20

hence, the slope intercept form of the required line is y = -2x + 20.

Sara had 324 dollars to spend on 9 books. After buying them she had 18 dollars. How much did each book cost?
larisa86 [58]
Each book costs $34 for this problem you need to first subtract 18 from 324 which gets you 306 then divide 306 by 9 and you get 34

Answer:

1/13, 12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 aces in a 52 card deck so P(Ace) = 4 / 52 = 1 / 13.

There are 52 - 4 = 48 cards that are not aces out of the whole 52 cards in the deck so P(not Ace) = 48 / 52 = 12 / 13.
