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.

Jayden earned some money doing odd jobs last summer and put it in a savings account that earns 12% interest compounded monthly.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

$220.18

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount A(n) accrued for P dollars saved at r% annual interest for a period of n years compounded k times is derived using the formula:

A(n)=P \left(1+\dfrac{r}{k}\right)^{nk}

In Jayden's case:

  • A(n)=$400
  • r=12%=0.12
  • n=5 years
  • k=12 Months

We want to determine the amount Jayden put in the savings account.

400=P \left(1+\dfrac{0.12}{12}\right)^{12*5}\\400=P \left(1+0.01}\right)^{60}\\400=P \left(1.01}\right)^{60}\\P=\dfrac{400}{\left(1.01}\right)^{60}}\\

P=\$220.18

Jayden earned $220.18 from doing odd jobs.
