Consider the following.

(-8, 7); x + y = 13 → y= -x + 13

parallel lines have the same slope. slope is -1

y = -x + b

7 = -(-8) + b

7 = 8 + b

b = -1

(a) y = -x - 1

perpendicular lines have opposite slopes. slope is 1/2.

y = -1/2x + b

7 = -1/2(-8) + b

7 = 4 + b

b = 3

(b) y = -1/2x + 3

10% of increase is the final answer! : )

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
