Hey there
The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. <span>Perpendicular lines have slopes that are </span>negative reciprocals<span> of each other.</span><span>
= (C) </span>
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
That's answer.
Is this the entire question?
