How is the expression (5 + y) ⋅8 described by its factors and terms? what is the area, in square units, of the polygon shown here? a figure in the shape of a block letter l with a vertical height of 8 units and a length of 5 units is shown. the length of the top of the l is 2 units and the height of the right side of the l is 1 unit.

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)
