2. If 1/2 of a gallon of paint covers 1/8 of a wall, how much paint is needed to cover the entire wall? A) 8 2/3 gallons
B) 8 1/3 gallons
C) 3 gallons
D) 2 gallons

Please help !

4 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

With this equation, we can use the ratio 1/2 : 1/8. For every 1/2 gallon of paint, 1/8 of a wall is painted.

If 1/2 gallons covers 1/8 of a wall, then we need 8 of the 1/2 gallons to cover the whole wall. We canrepresent this by multiplying 8 and 1/2.

8 x 1/2 = 4.

Because of this, 4 gallons of paint are needed to cover he entire wall.

(Quick note: I don't know why, but the answer choices seem kind of weird. But the answer is 4 :])

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

answer: 0,6

step-by-step explanation:

this would make it the y intercept.
