Choose an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (-8,1) and is perpendicular to the y=2x-17. select one: a. y= -(1/2)x - 3 b. y= -(1/2)x - 5 c. y= -2x - 4 d. y= -2x+1

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

a is the right answer
