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.

dybincka [34]

<u><em>The </em></u><u><em>number of trains</em></u><u><em> that arrived Dubai metro station on time is; 272 trains. </em></u>

<u><em /></u>

  • We are told that 320 trains arrived the Dubai metro station in a week.

  • Now, we are told that 5% got there early and 15% got there late.

This means, the percentage that got there on time is;

100% - % of trains that got there late.

  • Therefore, percentage of trains that got there on time is;

100% - 15% = 85%

  • Since 85% of the trains got there on time, then number of trains that got there on time is;

85% × 320 = 272

  • Therefore, we can conclude that 272 trains arrived on time.

Simplify: √27 A. 3√3 B. 9√3 C. 3√9 D. 5√3
blagie [28]
To simplify square root 27, find two numbers that equal 27. But also, one of the numbers should be a perfect square (such as 4, 9, 36...). 

9*3=27. The square root of 9 is 3, which makes it a perfect square. So, the answer is A.

Dale currently has $599 in his savings account. Prior to getting paid, he had $230 in his savings account. How much was Dale’s p
nlexa [21]
Hi!

So really focus on the fact that he started at $230, and then added an amount of money which we'll call x, which made his total equal $599. 

Take the parts I put in bold, and write the equation.
$230 + x = $599

Now we need to find x. 

Whatever we do to the equation, we do it to both sides. 
Our goal is to isolate x on one side. 

Subtract 230 from both sides. 
$230 - $230 + x = $599 - $230
x = $369

The answer is A. $230 + x = $599 x = $369

Hope this helps! :)
