Answer: -3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the correct choice is marked
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 8x, and the difference is ...
8x -x = 280
7x = 280 . . . . . simplify
x = 40 . . . . . . divide by 7
The larger number is 8x = 8(40) = 320.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Effectively, we have solved for the multiplier (40) that gives the ratio with 320 on top and a difference between top and bottom of 280:
Answer:
a=554.88
Step-by-step explanation:
20.4*27.2=
2 is the slope so the slope perpendicular to that is -1/2 (negative reciprocal)
-5=-1/2(9) 9*-1/2=-4.5 and -4.5 - 0.5 = -5 so the equation for the line is y=-1/2x -0.5
