The equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is y = –4x – 16.
Solution:
The equation of a line given is y = 0.25x – 7
Slope of the given line(
) = 0.25
Let
be the slope of the perpendicular line.
Passes through the point (–6, 8).
<em>If two lines are perpendicular then the product of the slopes equal to –1.</em>




Point-slope intercept formula:

and 
Substitute these in the formula, we get



Add 8 on both sides of the equation.


Hence the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is
y = –4x – 16
................................
3d + 8 = 2d - 7 equals d = -15.
First, subtract 2d from both sides. Your problem should look like: 3d + 8 - 2d = -7.
Second, simplify 3d + 8 - 2d to get d + 8. Your problem should look like: d + 8 = -7.
Third, subtract 8 from both sides. Your problem should look like: d = -7 - 8.
Fourth, simplify -7 - 8 to get -15. Your problem should look like: d = -15, which is your answer.
Hopefully this helps, I'm not exactly sure what you meant by "is equations," but this is how you solve the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify</em>
5(x + 2) = 6x + 3x - 14
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- [Addition] Combine like terms: 5(x + 2) = 9x - 14
- [Distributive Property] Distribute 5: 5x + 10 = 9x - 14
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 9x on both sides: -4x + 10 = -14
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 10 on both sides: -4x = -24
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide -4 on both sides: x = 6
Answer:
A) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to get this but this is how I did it:
1. Multiply the second equation by 1/4 to get the same fraction for y as the one in the first equation
1/4 x + 1/8 y = 2
1/4 (1/3 x + 1/2 y = 4)
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
2. Subtract the first equation from the new equation
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
<u> - 1/4 x - 1/8 y = -2</u>
-1/6 x= -1
3. Divide both sides by -1/6
<u>-1/6</u> x= <u>-1</u>
-1/6 -1/6
x = 6
4. Substitute 4 in for x in the original equation:
1/4 (6) + 1/8y = 2
6/4 + 1/8y = 2
1/8y = 1/2
y = 4
