Hello!
To find the line perpendicular to the given line, y = 2x + 3, firstly, find the slope of the perpendicular line. To find it, use this format: -1/m, where m is the slope. It is also called the "negative reciprocal" of the slope of the given line.
Then, you substitute an ordered pair into a new slope-intercept equation (with the slope) and find the y-intercept.
-1/m when m = 2 → -1/2
y = -1/2x + b (substitute the given ordered pair)
-3 = -1/2(2) + b (simplify)
-3 = -1 + b (add 1 to both sides)
-2 = b | The y-intercept of the perpendicular equation is -2.
Therefore, the line perpendicular to the given equation, that also goes through the given ordered pair is y = -1/2x - 2.

We are informed that Stephen rewrites 3r - 18 = 27 as 3(r - 6) = 3(9). This is quite thoughtful of Stephen and it's an easier way to solve the question.
In this case, 3 is a common factor to 3r, 18 and 27. Therefore, we will then have: 3(r - 6) = 3(9).
Since 3 is a common base to both, we are more concerned with the values inside the brackets. This will be:
r-6 = 9
r = 9 + 6
r = 15
Check: 3r - 18
3(15) - 18 = 45 - 18 = 27
She had 27 pieces of candy.
Explain:
1. Identify the numbers and mathematical phrases (divided, in all, etc.)
2. Now you want to find out how much candy was given to her kids. She had 5 kids and gave them each 4 pieces, so it would be 4*5 which equals 20
3. Then you add the 7 Jasmine gave herself to the 20 she gave her kids, which equals 27.
