-1/8
To simplify, first flip the term to the denominator to get rid of the negative exponent. Then simplify 1/-2^3. This equals 1/-8 because -2^3 is the same as -2*-2*-2, which is -8.

For the graph y = -8 find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it and the slope of a line parallel to it. Explain your a

AlexFokin [52]

For the graph of y = -8 the line is horizontal, which means the slope = 0. A parallel line has the same slope so one equation could be y = 2. A perpendicular line has an opposite slope so since our slope = 0 the opposite of that slope is $-\frac{1}{0}$ which a line that is perpendicular to y = -8 could be x = -3. Also notice that these two lines form a 90 degree angle.

A square outdoor patio with side length x feet is surrounded by a brick walkway that is 4 feet wide. What is the area of the wal

Masja [62]

Answer:

Area of walkway = 16(x+4) $ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the sides of the square outdoor = x feet

Area of the square outdoor = length x length

= x * x

= $x^{2}$ $ft^{2}$

The square outdoor is surrounded by 4 feet of walkway. So that,

length of the walkway = (x + 2(4))

= (x + 8)

Area of walkway with outdoor = (x + 8)*(x + 8)

= ( $x^{2}$ + 16x + 64) $ft^{2}$

Area of walkway = Area of walkway with outdoor - Area of the square outdoor

= ( $x^{2}$ + 16x + 64) - $x^{2}$

= 16x + 64

Area of walkway = 16(x+4) $ft^{2}$

Choose the most specific description of a curve that is a subset of a circle.

balandron [24]

I would say it's arc providing the curve possesses a constant rate of curvature.

And the curve by definition follows the rule.

Sam picked 1/2 gallon of blueberries. He poured the blueberries into one of his plastic containers and noticed that the berries

Burka [1]

Answer:

With 1 gallon of blueberries, Sam can fill 4/3 of his container.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the given situation:

1/2 gallon of blueberries ⇒ The container is 2/3 full

Now, let us assume 1 gallon of blue berries ⇒ The container is m full.

Now, by the RATIO OF PROPORTIONALITY:

$\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{\frac{2}{3} } = \frac{1}{m} \\\implies {\frac{1}{2} } \times {\frac{3}{2} } = \frac{1}{m}\\or,\frac{1}{m} = \frac{3}{4} \\\implies m = \frac{4}{3}$

Hence, with 1 gallon of blueberries, Sam can fill 4/3 of his container.
