Give the slope of any line that is perpendicular to the line y = -1/8 x + 5

8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a slope for a line that is perpendicular to another line, you simply need to take the negative reciprocal of the the original line's slope.  In this case we are already given the slope as the coefficient to x: -1/8.  The negative reciprocal of that is 8/1, or just 8.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
