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 the mean of 65,30,25
mixas84 [53]
You've got 3 values there.

Get the sum of 65, 30 and 25 and divide their sum by the number of values that exist, which in this case is 3.

\frac { 65+30+25 }{ 3 } =\frac { 120 }{ 3 } =40

Answer:

40
