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:
the answer is -73
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add up all of those, you get 24. Then you divide by 6. 24/6 = 4.
61,361 rounded to the nearest hundred = 61,400
Answer:
The answer to your question would be C) y = 3x + 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The components of a slope intercept form equation is the slope and the intercept. The y-intercept is the term thats by itself which, is +2. This means that the line goes through positive 2 on the plane. For the slope, it is always the coefficient thats next to the x variable. In this case, its 3, meaning that the next point that the line will be on is every 3 steps up and 3 steps towards the right. Hope this helps!
