Answer has to be in slope intercept form

Given:

Perpendicular line:

To find:

The equation of the linear function f.

Solution:

Slope of line m is =

If two lines are perpendicular then the slope of one equation is negative reciprocal of the other.

Slope of line f =

This means f has point (-2, -9).

Using point-slope formula:

Here and

Subtract 9 from both sides.

Substitute x = r and y = f.

The linear equation is .

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
