Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{2} x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 8x - 4y = 12 into this form

Subtract 4x from both sides

- 4y = - 8x + 12 ( divide all terms by - 4 )

y = 2x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{2}

Since the line passes through the origin then c = 0

y = - \frac{1}{2} x ← equation of perpendicular line

A factory made 900 jars of peanut butter. 35% of the jars contained creamy peanut butter. How many jars of creamy peanut butter
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

315 jars

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is merely another way of writing: what is 35% of 900?

Now, when we look at it that way, it's easy to solve.

So, the way to solve is to either multiply 35% by 900, or just interpret that as 0.35 times 900. Anyway, the result is 315.

I hope this helped a bunch! Tell me if you need any further assistance...

Can you please Simplify 4a+7b+5a-b
vovangra [49]

Answer:

9a+6b

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+7b+5a-b

First figure out the  a's 4a + 5a = 9a

Then do b's (Remember, if there is no number by the letter then it is 1)

7b - 1b = 6b

So for this to be simplified the answer is 9a+6b
