Answer:

y = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question;

Which equation represents the line y = 1/4 that is perpendicular to and passes through (-6,-9)?

The equation of the line in point slope form is y-y0 = m(x-x0)

Given the equation y = 1/4, the slope of the line is zero

Substitute the slope and the point into the formula;

y -(-9) = 0(x-(-6)

y + 9 = 0

y = -9

Hence the required equation is y = -9

3/7 of the people living in the apartment building are men. 5/8 of the remaining are women. The rest are children. A total of 27

Vladimir [108]

People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x

y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280

So we have 280 people in the building.

check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women

so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!

hope this is right! have a great. day
