Answer:

-1/2 or -0.5

negative half

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of regular line= (y1-y2) / (x1-x2)

(27-3) / (4 - -8)

24 / (4+8)

24 / 12 = 2

the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal

the negative reciprocal of positive 2/1 (2 as a fraction) is:

negative half: -1/2 or -0.5

Does anyone know this one?

iogann1982 [59]

It's A.

18 correlates with $350 and 12 correlates with $520.
That crosses off B and D.

18 + 12 days combined equals 30.
That excludes C and D.

A is your answer! :D
