Answer:

y = 1/3x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3x+2 is in slope intercept form  y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is -3

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals

The slope of the perpendicular line is  -1/-3 = 1/3

The equation of the new line is

y = 1/3x +b

Using the point that passes through the line ( 6,8) and substituting in for x and y

8 = 1/3(6) +b

8 = 2+b

8-2 =b

6 =b

The equation becomes

y = 1/3x+6

Answer is about 3 times
About 3 times in April bc it’s saying It rained two times out of the 12 days in March in there about 30 days in March and 30 days in April so if you just add 12 and 12 equals 24 so it rained 4 times but if you are 12 it would equal 36 so if you would take half of 12 which is sixto equal one rainy day it would give you about 3 days
