-4 and 2 are 3 units away from -1
Answer:
-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are "negative reciprocals" of each other. This just means you flip them and make them negative. so 3/4 would become -4/3. i also want to add 1/2 would become -2/1 so -2 and a whole number like -3 would become 1/3, because I know that can be tricky. just know you can write a whole number a as a/1 to make it a fraction.
So 2/3 becomes -3/2 for perpendicular line.
First plug in all the numbers: 2+6 (6-2)
Then do the stuff in the parentheses: 6-2=4
All you have left to do is 2+6+4=12
