If a student tells me that an argument that has a false hypothesis cannot be valid, I would reply that we need to look carefully at the meaning of validity in the context of logic. In everyday speech, we tend to use “valid” to mean the same thing as “true” or “accurate.” In logic, this is not the way the term is used.
Y = (1/5)x -2
for a perpendicular line, you make the slope the reciprocal of the other equation
Percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100
4.25%=4.25/100=425/10000=85/2000=17/400
answer is 17/400
