Can someone actually help me with this please!

y = -2x  + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 lines are perpendicular, the relationship between their slopes m1 and m2 may be stated as

m1m2 = -1

Given the line

y = 1/2 x + 8

Comparing with the general equation of a line y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the intercept

m = m1 = 1/2

Hence the slope of the perpendicular line m2

= -1/1/2

= -2

Given that the line passes through the points (1,5)

using the equation

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 5 = -2(x - 1)

y = -2x +2 + 5

y = -2x  + 7

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
