Answer:p=6-2-4+10
P=4-4+10
P=10
Step-by-step explanation:
When you write a function in the form
, y is the dependent variable, and x is the independent variable.
So, if b is the independent variable, it means that we have to solve the expression for r.
To do so, we perform the following steps: start with

Add 12 to both sides

Divide both sides by 4:

So, we wrote the expression in the form
, which means that r is the dependent variable and b is the independent variable, as requested.
The slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal of the other.
In this case, we know that the slope of the given equation is 2.
Since we're solving for a line perpendicular to it, we simply find the reciprocal of the 2 (It turns into 1/2) and make it negative.
y = -1/2x + b
Since the given states that the new y-intercept is 10, input it into 'b'.
y = -1/2x + 10
