Answer:

y+4=-6(x+8)  point-slope form

y=-6x-52 slope-intercept form

6x+y=-52 standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Lines that are perpendicular have opposite reciprocal slopes.

So the slope of y=(1/6)x+3 is 1/6.

The opposite reciprocal of (1/6) is -6.

So the equation for the line we are looking for is in the form:

y=-6x+b         (Since the slope of our new line is -6)

Now we want our line to go through (-8,-4).

So plug that in:

-4=-6(-8)+b

-4=48+b

Subtract 48 on both sides:

-52=b

The equation for the line we are looking for is

y=-6x-52.

Now you could do other forms.

Another one is point-slope form.

We already know it goes through (-8,-4) and a slope of -6.

Point slope form is: y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.

Plug in the information to get:

y-(-4)=-6(x-(-8))

y+4=-6(x+8)

I'm going to do one more form.

Standard form is ax+by=c where a,b,c are integers.

y=-6x-52

Add 6x on both sides:

6x+y=-52

Answer: Cluster sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Cluster sampling is a type of sampling method . With cluster sampling, the observer splits the population into separate groups which are called as called clusters. After dividing the whole populations into clusters he select a simple random sample of clusters from the population. The observer conducts his analysis on data from the sampled clusters.

From the given statement we can see that the automobile is doing his analysis by selecting  three stores from each state (cluster) in the country  and surveys all customers present in the store in a certain week.

Hence, he used cluster sampling .
