Answer:

he line y = -8 is horizontal

The line perpendicular to the line y = -8 is vertical

The equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = -8 through

the point (-4 , -2) is x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some notes about the vertical and horizontal lines

The equation of a horizontal line passes through point (a , b) is y = b, because the y-coordinates of all points on the line are equal

The equation of a vertical line passes through point (a , b) is x = a, because the x-coordinates of all points on the line are equal

The horizontal line and the vertical line are perpendicular to each other

We need to find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = -8 through the point (-4 , -2)

∵ The equation of the given line is y = -8

∴ The given line is a horizontal line

The line y = -8 is horizontal

∵ The line y = -8 is a horizontal

∴ The line perpendicular to it must be vertical

The line perpendicular to the line y = -8 is vertical

∵ The equation of a vertical line is x = a, where a is the x-coordinate

  of a point lies on the line

∵ The line perpendicular to the line y = -8 through the point (-4 , -2)

∴ a = -4

∴ The equation of the perpendicular line is x = -4

The equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = -8 through

the point (-4 , -2) is x = -4

Research suggests improvements in human capital explains what percentage of the growth in U.S. Productivity from 1950 to the ear
Komok [63]

Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Human capital refers to the expertise that people gain as a result of working. This includes skills they gain from training and actually working. For instance, the skills a Brainly website designer gets from working on Brainly.

Research suggests that this human capital has led to about a 20% growth in U.S. productivity from the year 1950 to the year 2007 which means that it is a very significant factor in the growth of the country.

The area of a triangular garden can be no more than 120 square feet. The base of the triangle is 16 feet. What is the height of
almond37 [142]
Let us assume that the area of the garden is 120 sq.ft
It is given that base=16 ft
Area of Triangle = 1/2 * b * h
120 = 1/2 * 16 * h
h = 120 * 2/16
h = 120 * 1/8
h = 15 ft
Therefore, the height of the triangular garden is 15 ft
