Answer:

y = 3/8x + 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite and reciprocal of the original slope.

-8/3 -> 3/8

Find the new y-intercept.

y = 3/8x + b

2 = 3/8(5) + b

2 = 1.875 + b

0.125 = b

y = 3/8x + 1/8

Best of Luck!

The scale on a city map is 3/4 inch represents 1/8 mile.How many inches per mile are represented by the scale on the map

Sonja [21]

3/4 inch represents 1/8 mile, that means:

1/8 mile represented by 3/4 inch

1 mile will be : (3/4) inch ÷ (1/8)

= 3/4 × 8/1 = 6

1mile will be represented by 6 inches

So on the map it is 6 inches per mile

A line passes through the point (4,-9) and has a slope of -6. Write an equation in slope intercept form for this line

pishuonlain [190]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-9})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -6 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-9)}=\stackrel{m}{-6}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4}) \\\\\\ y+9=-6x+24\implies y=-6x+15$
