to find the point, find the location
realize that the shortest line that crosses through the origin and y=9x+8 is perpendicular to y=9x+8
perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
y=9x+8 has a slope of 9
9*m=-1, m=-1/9
the slope of the mystery line is -1/9
since it passes through the origin, the y intercept is 0
y=(-1/9)x is the equation of the line from the point to the origin
find the intersection of this line and the original line
set them equal to each other
(-1/9)x=9x+8
multily both sides by 9
-x=81x+72
minus 81 both sides
-82x=72
divide both sides by -82
x=-36/41
find y
y=(-1/9)x
y=(-1/9)(-36/41)
y=4/41
the point is 
Answer:
18 logs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a stove burns 4 logs per 2 hours, then the stove will burn 2 logs in one hour. There fore in 9 hours the stove will burn 2*9 which is 18 logs.
4:2= 2 logs per hour
2*9=18 logs per 9 hours.

Answer:
y = -1/8 x² + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Parabola opens vertically and vertex (h,k) = (0,5), pass point (4,3)
basic formula: y = a(x - h)² + k
y = a (x-0)² + 5
y = ax² + 5 pass (4,3)
3 = 16a + 5
a = (3-5)/16 = -1/8
equation: y = -1/8 x² + 5
check: pass another point (-4,3)
-1/8 * (-4)² + 5 = -2 + 5 = 3
