Hey!
Your answers are:
- 4 less than a number
- A number decreased by 4
Let k represent "a number". "k" is a variable, and variables are unknown.
-4 is subtracting 4. That means you're subtracting 4 from a number. -4 also means that the number is decreasing by 4. Therefore, those 2 are your answers.
<em>I hope this helps!</em>
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
x+4y=-12
x+7y=-15
subtract
-3y=3
y=-1
x+4(-1)=-12
x=-12+4=-8
so point is (-8,-1)
Answer:35
Step-by-step explanation:
We add or subtract from left to right to find the value of the expression:
3
Because the result is negative, she is below the cave entrance (by 35 feet).
Answer: 9,594
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m = slope and b = y-intercept
We can arrange 6y = x - 12 in the form of y = mx + b
6y = x - 12
y = 1/6(x) - 2
Slope of y = 1/6(x) - 2 is 1/6. Taking the negative reciprocal of the slope we get the slope for the perpendicular line.
Negative reciprocal of 1/6 is -6.
The equation for the perpendicular line is
y = -6x + b
To find b we can plug in the x and y values of (4,-4) into it since it passes through those coordinates
-4 = -6(4) + b
b = -4 + 6(4)
b = -4 + 24
b = 20
So the equation for the perpendicular line is y = -6x + 20
