Find an equation of a line through (-2, 4) and perpendicular to -x+8y=16

Answer: y=-8x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line has the form:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Let's find the slope of the given line. Solve for y:

-x+8y=16\\8y=x+16\\y=(1/8)x+2

Then m=1/8

By definition the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, therefore the slope of the other line is:

m=-8

Substitute the slope and the point given into the equation of the line to calculate b:

4=(-8)(-2)+b\\4=16+b\\b=-12

Then the equation is:

y=-8x-12

Answer:

y  =  -8x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given an equation of line and a point.

-x+8y=16  and (x,y) =  (-2, 4)

We have to find the equation of line that is perpendicular -x+8y=16.

y  = mx+c is equation of line where m is slope and c is y-intercept.

8y  =  x+16

y  = 1/8x+2

Hence, slope of perpendicular line is -8.

y  =  -8x+c is equation of perpendicular line to -x+8y=16.

putting the value of point in above equation , we have

4 = -8(-2)+c

4  =  16+c

c  =  4-16

c  =  -12

hence, y  = -8x-12  is equation of line passes through (-2, 4) and perpendicular to -x+8y=16.

What is 0.003is 1/10 of
Whitepunk [10]
0.003 is 1/10 of 0.03.

Just multiply the 0.003 by 10 and you'll get the result. The easiest way to multiply such numbers is to move the dot one position to the right (it would be 2 positions if multiplying by 100, 3 by 1000 etc.). You can do the same with dividing, just remember to move to the left then.

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.
Amanda [17]

The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac


(-7c + 8d)0.6 = (-7c)(0.6) + (8d)(0.6) = -4.2c + 4.8d
