Answer:

They are perpendicular lines

Step-by-step explanation:

If one line has slope -8 and the other one has slope 1/8, they must be perpendicular to each other because the condition for perpendicular lines is that the slope of one must be the "opposite of the reciprocal of the slope of the original line."

the opposite of -8 is 8 , and the reciprocal of this is 1/8

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m and m' be the slopes of two different lines.

These lines are peependicular if and only if:

● m×m' = -1

Notice that:

● -8 ×(1/8) = -1

So the lines with the respectives slopes -8 and 1/8 are perpendicular.

(a) If $y(t)$ is the mass after $t$ days and $y(0) = A$ then $y(t) = Ae^{kt}.$

$y(1) = Ae^k = 0.945A \implies e^k = 0.945 \implies k = \ln 0.945$

$\text{Then } Ae^{(\ln 0.945)t} = \frac{1}{2}A\ \Leftrightarrow\ \ln e^{(\ln 0.945)t} = \ln \frac{1}{2}\ \Leftrightarrow\ ( \ln 0.945) t = \ln \frac{1}{2} \Leftrightarrow \\ \\
t = - \frac{\ln 5}{\ln 0.945} \approx 12.25 \text{ years}$

(b)
$Ae^{(\ln 0.945) t} = 0.20 A \ \Leftrightarrow\ (\ln 0.945) t \ln \frac{1}{5}\ \implies \\ \\
t = - \frac{\ln 5}{\ln 0.945} \approx 28.45\text{ years}$
