Answer:

D) y =   -2

The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is  y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given point (-3,-2)

In graph the equation of line  x = 8 ( parallel to y- axis )

                              1 x + o y - 8 =0

The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line  

                        b x - a y + k =0

                       o x - 1 y + k =0 ...(i)

The equation (i) is Paases through the point ( -3,-2)

                        0 ( -3) -1(-2) + k =0

                               2 + k =0

                                     k = -2

∴<em>The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line  is </em>

<em>      put k = -2 in equation (i)    </em>

                        o x - 1 y + k =0

                      - y +(-2) =0

                       - y = 2

                         y = -2

<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>

∴The equation of the perpendicular line to the given line is  y =-2

The question was incomplete. Below you will find the missing content.

In the figure below, BL, AM, and CK are medians of △ABC. If KC = 108 and OC = 2n + 10, then n=

The picture is attached below.

The value of n is 31.

The median is the line connecting the vertex and its midpoint on the opposite side of the triangle.

The intersection of all 3 medians of the triangle is called the centroid.

As we know centroid divides the median in the ratio of 2:1.

In the given picture,

Medians of triangle △ABC are AM, BL, and CK.

So the centroid of the triangle is O.

Given that KC= 108

As the centroid O divides the line KC in 2:1.

Let OC=2x

KO= X

As KC= KO+OC

⇒ 108= x+2x

⇒ 3x=108

⇒ x=108/3

⇒ x=36

Then OC= 2x= 2*36= 72

As given in the question OC= 2n+10

putting the value of OC in above equation

⇒ 72= 2n+10

⇒ 2n= 72-10

⇒ 2n=62

⇒ n=62/2

⇒n=31

Therefore the value of n is 31.
