what's up with the weird characters?

haha wow the symbol wasn't meant to be there! It is a copy/past problem. Anyway it should say x - 8y

bahrom7893 · Answer

x-8y=8
-8y=8-x
8y=x-8
y=(1/8)x-1

bahrom7893 · Answer

M = 1/8
perpendicular M = -8 (inverse negative)

bahrom7893 · Answer

Your line is:
y-4=-8(x-2)
y-4=-8x+16
y=-8x+20

anonymous · Answer

so the final equation of y= -8+20 is the slope intercept form? I have not done this for a while and did not have time to read the chapter :'(

bahrom7893 · Answer

yea
y=-8x+20 is slope intercept form
