Hey there!

A perpendicular line's slope to another line is always the negative reciprocal of slope.

If our line has a slope of two, we first must find the reciprocal, which is 1/2. Then, we put a negative on it.

Therefore, our equation is y=-1/2x+b.

I hope that this helps! Have a great day!

We first subtract the 18 beads she used in her mother's bracelet from her beginning number, m. We then divide our result by k, the number of bracelets she made for her friends.
