17. Find an equation of the straight line that is perpendicular to x - y = 5 and passes through the point (8, -1). 18. Find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through the points (12, 4) and (4, 6)

17.y=-x+12

18.y=-1/4x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

17.a Solve for y (y=-5+x)

17. b Reciprocal (y=-1x-5)

17. c Subsitute equation into (8,-1) (-1=-13=y=x+12)

18.a Subtract y values and x values= (6-4)/(4-12)=2/-8=-1/4, this will be your slope

18. b Plug in -1/4 into either of the two ordered pairs to find y value=(12,4)=(4=-3)=y value=7.

18. c=y=-1/4x+7

it has the same slope and a different y-intercept

hope this : )

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
