Answer:

A.) -1/5 i hope this helps! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = 5x - 2

the perpindicular line to y = 5x - 2

you have to flip the 5x to be a negative and flip it to 1 over 5

y = -1/5x - 2 is perpendicular to the line y = 5x - 2

$y=\frac{x-2}{4}$
$x=$ the # of people at the feast
$y=$ the # of pieces the cake must be cut

$\frac{34-2}{4} = \frac{32}{4} = 8$

Consider the equation 3p-7+p=13

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

p=5

Step-by-step explanation:

3p-7+p=13

Add like terms.

3p+p-7=13

4p-7=13

Add 7 to both sides.

4p-7+7=13+7

4p=20

Divide 4 from both sides.

$\frac{4p}{4}$ = $\frac{20}{4}$

p=5

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
