Over the course of 87 days, about 200 million gallons of crude oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. If the oil spilled at a constant rate each day, how many gallons were lost per day?

3.19 gallons of oil lost per day

Step-by-step explanation:

(23*2)-12=x     x=34

step-by-step explanation:

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)
