Answer:

The equation is;

y = -3/4x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form for the equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

With respect to this question;

4/3 is the slope and 1 is the intercept

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1

Mathematically;

4/3 * m2 = -1

m2 = -3/4

So to find the equation of this second line, we use the point slope form

This is;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = -3/4(x + 8)

y- 4 = -3/4x + 8

y = -3/4x + 12

The slope of a line that passes through points (-1, -3) and (-2,5) is:
sweet [91]

Answer:

m = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula: m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m=\frac{5+3}{-2+1} =\frac{8}{-1} =-8

m = -8

There are 60 people waiting in line for a movie. If 20 percent are wearing hats, how many people in line were not wearing hats?
sammy [17]

Answer:

48 people

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 20% of 60, you multiply 60 by .2 and get 12. Subtract 12 from 60, and 48 people were not wearing hats.
