40% are girls or more accurate would be 14

Solution:

What is 40% of 35?

Y is 40% of 35

Equation: Y = P% * X

Solving our equation for Y

Y = P% * X

Y = 40% * 35

Converting percent to decimal:

p = 40%/100 = 0.4

Y = 0.4 * 35

Y = 14

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the following

Valentin [98]

The perpendicular equation would include a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.

Steps:
1. Get x to the other side in the original equation. This making the slope -4 or -4/1.

2. Turn the slope into it’s opposite reciprocal m = 1/4.

3. If you use point-slope form, y - y1 = m( x - x1 ), you can substitute y1 and x1 with the numbers in the point given. But since we previously found the opposite reciprocal, we will replace “m” as well. *By the way, the subtraction of a negative makes a positive. [y + 3 = 1/4( x + 4 )]

4. Solve:
A: Distribute (y + 3 = 1/4x + 1)
B: Subtract 3 from both sides (y = 1/4x -2)

Perpendicular Equation: y = 1/4x - 2
