When it is perpendicular, the slope is the negative reciprocal so it would equal -3/2x. Plug in the points to the equation so you can find the intercept. -8=-3/2(4)+b
Combine: -8=-6+b
Add 6: -2=b
The equation would be f(x)=-3/2x-2
Hope this helped and sorry if I am wrong!

Answer:
Given the system of equation:
......[1]
......[2]
we can rewrite equation [2] as;
......[3]
Substitute equation [3] into [1] to eliminate x, and solve for y;
Using distributive property: 
Combine like terms;
16 - 8y = -4
Add 4 to both sides we have;
20 - 8y = 0
Add 8y to both sides we have;
20 = 8y
Divide 8 to both sides we have;
Substitute the y-value in [3] we have;
x = 8 - 5 = 3
Therefore, the expression should be substituted into the first equation is, and also the value of x = 3 and y = 2.5
Answer:
9. x=102
10. x=56
11. x=104
12. x=138
Step-by-step explanation:
9. In this problem, they are alternate exterior angles, meaning they are the same value. x=102
10. x is a corresponding angle, meaning they are the same. x=56
11. There are consecutive interior angles. The sum of these two angles is 180. to find x, subtract 76 from 180. 180-76 = 104 x = 104
12. These two angles are verticle angles, meaning they are equivalent. x = 138
