What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation x-y=8

Rewrite the equation into the general form: y=mx+b, where m represents slope.
We have:
x-y=8
-y=-x+8
y=x-8
Here, m happens to be 1. The slope of a perpendicular line to an equation is the negative reciprocal of the number. 
For example, the negative reciprocal of 2 is -1/2 (so you 'flip' the number).
So the negative reciprocal of 1, or 1/1, is -1.
So the slope of the line perpendicular to that equation is -1.

What formula do i use when it tells me to find the area with a given circumference? If you know please give an example as well,
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A = C^2 / 4 x pi

so if the circumfernce was 10 you would square it to make it 100 and then you would do 4 x pi to get 12.57 ( rounded).

you would then just divide 100 by 12.57 = 7.96 ( rounded)

hope it helped
