Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=1/8x+4 and contains the point (-8,0)

answer

y = -8x - 64

finding slope

a perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original graph

since the slope of y = is , the perpendicular line has a slope of

values

the equation of a line is y = mx + b

with the point (-8, 0), x = -8 and y = 0

we found the slope to be m = -8

plug in values

y = mx + b

0 = -8(-8) + b

0 = 64 + b

b = -64

final equation

plug m and b into y = mx + b to get

y = -8x - 64

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
