1/4 in fraction form, or 0.4 in decimal
The answer would be C (17/6)
This is because;
6 goes into 17 twice leaving a reminder of 5.
Answer - D.
you basically find the equation of the line first and eliminate the wrong answers...
Strategy: before u do any of this, label your coordinates as (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) and u can choose any of ur points to be as x1 or x2 or y1 or y1...
basically, I'll choose (6,7) as (x1,y1) and (2,-1) as (x2,y2). SO,
First you have to find the gradient (m) of the line.
you do this by using the formula m = Y2-Y1 / X2-X1 (where '/' is division sign) ....
Put the numbers in their respective places and your gradient will be 2x. we put the x after our number to represent it as a gradient as the straight line formula is y = mx+c and you've found the m.
NOW.
use the formula Y-Y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the line.Again u can use any Y1 and X1 here but remember your m is 2
replace the digits and solve...Hopefully you'll get sth like this if you use the points (6,7):
Y-7 = 2(x-6) ....
y=2x-12+7...
Y=2x-5! <<<< this is your straight line equation!
Now all u gotta do is rearrange all your options into y = mx+c.
D. is incorrect as it gives us y=2x+5 and not y = 2x-5 unlike the others
Hope you get it!
Answer: The second choice
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value is the distance a number is from 0 on the number line. Thus, the absolute value of -8 is 8, which is greater than the absolute value of -6, or 6.

To find a perpendicular line, you need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope.
-2/5 flips into -5/2
Since -2/5 is negative, -5/2 turns positive, so 5/2.
Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to Y = -2/5x + 4/5 is 5/2
