Answer:
170
Step-by-step explanation:1/4 is just like dividing 4 so 680 divided by 4 equals 170
<u>We are given:</u>
The line passes through the points (9,4) and (9,-5)
<u>We know that:</u>
Slope of a line = (change in y) / (change in x)
<u>Finding the slope:</u>
Change in x = final x - initial x
Change in x = 9 - 9 = 0
Slope of line = (change in y) / 0
because division by 0 is undefined:
Slope of the line is <em>Undefined</em>
We could've solved for the change in y but there's no reason to because no matter what's in the numerator, as long as the denominator is 0, the value is undefined
Yes! That is correct!

Answer:
y = (7/2)x -20
Step-by-step explanation:
The given line is in slope-intercept form, so you can read its slope from the equation.
y = mx + b . . . . . m is the slope; b is the y-intercept
y = -(2/7)x + 9 . . . . . . has slope -2/7
The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this, so will be ...
m = -1/(-2/7) = 7/2
We can use this and the given point to write the equation in point-slope form.
y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
We have m = 7/2, (h, k) = (4, -6) so the equation is ...
y = (7/2)(x -4) -6
y = (7/2)x -20
