Let's say there were "x" in 1996, therefore, "x" is the 100%.

10 years later, there are 12440, and that is 1126% "more" than "x", since "x" is 100%, 1126% more than that is 100% + 1126%, or 1226%.

so, 12440 is really 1226% of whatever "x" happened to have been back then in 1996.

now, since we know that 12440 is 1226%, what is "x" then?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
x&100\\
12440&1226
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{12440}=\cfrac{100}{1226}\implies x=\cfrac{12440\cdot 100}{1226}

Find an equation of the line perpendicular to the graph of 14x-7y=4 that passes through the point at (2,-9)
12345 [234]
If it is perpendicular to the line 14x-7y=4, then we know our line has the opposite and inverse slope of that line. Solving for y of the first line, we get y=2x-(4/7). All we care about is the coefficient of the x term, because that will give us our slope. The slope of the first line is 2, so the slope of out line is the opposite and inverse of that slope, which -(1/2).

Plugging into our slope- point formula, where y1=(-9), x1=2, and m=(-1/2), then:

y-(-9)=(-1/2)(x-2)
y+9=(-1/2)x+1
y=(-1/2)x-8

Hope this helps!
