Question

Help me on math anyone??? ​

Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

y = (1/8)x + 5

Discussion:

The slope (m) of y = -8x +4 is -8. The slope of the perpendicular lines is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the first line.  That is, the perpendicular slope is  -1 /(-8) = + 1/8

y = (1/8) x + b     (*)

Also, the perpendicular line passes through the point (0.5) so substituting these values in (*) gives

5 = (1/8)(0) + b             =>  as (1/8) 0  = 0

5 = b

The perpendicular line is given by  y = (1/8)x + 5

Thank you,

MrB
