Answer:
My bid was $42 less than the winning bid.
Step-by-step explanation:
The winning bid is x.
$28 is 40% of x
0.4x = 28
x = 28/0.4
x = 70
The winning bid was $70.
$70 - $28 = $42
Answer: My bid was $42 less than the winning bid.
A compound event, I believe
The equation of line perpendicular to given line through (-6,7) is:

Further explanation:
Given equation of line is:

The co-efficient of x is the slope of given line.
Let m1 be the slope of given line
and
m2 be the slope of line perpendicular to given line
Then

Product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1

The equation of new line can be written as:

Putting m2

To find the value of b, we will put (-6,7) in equation

Putting the values of b and m in general equation
