Solve the proportion.8/d = -12/30
a. -45
b. -20
c. -3.2

B. -20

Step-by-step explanation:

8/d = -12/30

We can use cross products to solve

8 * 30 = d* -12

240 = -12 d

Divide each side by -12

240/-12 = -12d/-12

-20 = d

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)
