Step-by-step explanation:
As the required line is perpendicular to y = (1/2)x + 5, product of slope of y = (1/2)x + 5 and required line should be - 1.
=> (1/2)m = - 1
=> m = - 2
Thus, required line is
=> y - (-8) = (-2)(x - 3)
=> y + 8 = -2(x - 3)
we have

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

Factor the leading coefficient

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side


Rewrite as perfect squares

-----> equation in vertex form
therefore
the answer is the option C

Answer: 5%
Step-by-step explanation:
if it was 2.90 yesterday and 2.85 today there is a 5 cent decrease. to find the percent you convert .05 to a percent which is 5%
