Answer:
y = x + 6 or y = x - 0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
For 2 lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be <u>negative reciprocals</u>. In order to find the perpendicular of y - 4x - 6 = 0:
SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM: y = 4x + 6
SLOPE OF LINE A: m=4
SLOPE OF LINE B (the one you are looking for): m=
Since I don't know if you meant that they intercept on the x or y axis I will do both.
<u>y-axis</u>
y-6=(x-0)
y = x+6
<u>x-axis</u>
y-0=(x-1.5)
y=x-0.375

Liz because when having the same common denominator,
Liz=2/6 and Rick=3/6
So, I would go with Liz.
