Answer:
x = 4 and x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two solutions to an absolute value equation.
If |x - 5| = 1, then
x - 5 = -1 and
x - 5 = +1.
1. Solve x - 5 = -1
Add 5 to each side.
x = 4
2. Solve x - 5 = 1
Add 5 to each side.
x = 6
The solutions are x = 4 and x = 6.
3. Number line
The number line would have markers at 4 and 6.
It should look like the image below.

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
- First find the perdendicular slope (flip and change sign) : m= -
- Then set up your equation using the given ordered paired to find your y-intersept: -1 = -
(5) + b
- Caluclate the product: -1 = -
+ b
- Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign : -b - 1 = -
- Calculate the sum: -b = -
- Change the sign : b=
- Use the slope and y-intersept to creat the equation: y = -
