Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"One number is eight less than a second number."

x = y-8

"Twice the first is 12 more than 4 times the second."

2x = 4y+12

substitution

2(y-8) = 4y + 12

2y - 16 = 4y + 12

2y = -28

y = -14

x = y-8 = -22

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 2x-y-16
Alekssandra [29.7K]

put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c

2x - y = 16

2x = 16 + y

y = 2x - 16

the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.

you can form this equation with that info

2x = -1

x = -1/2

OR

you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1

2/1

= -1/2
