Answer:

104

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys : girls = 3 : 1 = 3x : x ( x is a multiplier )

There are 52 more boys than girls , so

3x = x + 52 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x = 52 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 26, then

3x = 3 × 26 = 78 ← number of boys

Total number = 78 + 26 = 104

1.The equation of line CD is (y−3) = − 2 (x − 4). What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line CD? 2.The equation of line A
gogolik [260]
So here's how to do it,
slope intercept form is y=mx+b
m is the slope, b is the y- intercept, X is your unknown variable.

you need to solve to get y by its self to get your slope.

for perpendicular lines flip the slope

ex 1, smy=2x+6 --- slope of a perpendicular line will be 1/2

ex 2, y=3/2+8 ---8 perpendicular lien would have a slope of 2/3

parallel lines have the same slope so any equation with with the same slope will be parallel if it has the same degree.

ex. y=2x+14 is parallel to y= 2x+56

slope can be found using the following formula if you have two sets of points on the same line

m= y2-y1 ÷ X2 - X1
