Any line can be expresses as:
y=mx+b where m=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)
First find the slope:
m=(2-0)/(8-0)=2/8=1/4 so we have thus far:
y=0.25x+b, we solve for b using any point on the line, (8,2)
2=0.25(8)+b
2=2+b
0=b
So the line is:
y=.25x which they might also express as y=x/4
The answer is E. (1/4)x
Answer:
y = -
x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept fprm is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 3x + 7 is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
, thus
y = -
x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line
To find c substitute (3, - 4) into the partial equation
- 4 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 1 = - 3
y = -
x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line
20% of 58 = 11.60
so $11.60 is the answer
