Answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation

The slope of a perpendicular line would be (-x) if the slope of the original line was (x).

The formula for finding slope is:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Inserting your problem would make the equation look like:

$\frac{5-8}{-2+4}$

Simplify:

$\frac{-3}{2}$

That is the slope of the given line, to find the slope of the line perpendicular to that one, we would put into (-x)

Answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$

schepotkina [342]

The total volume I suppose is what you are asking.
You can simplify this into 1/3 = .33
2.5 + .33 = 2.88 cups.

Y-8=-x solve for y<br>please show work I'm trying to find the y intercept

Novay_Z [31]

x- intercept (- 8, 0), y- intercept (0, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the y- intercept, let x = 0 in the
equation and solve for y
y = 0 +8 =8 (0,8 ) y -intercept
To find the x- intercept, let y = 0 in the
equation and solve for x
x + 8 = 0 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
x=- 8 (-8, 0) intercept.
