Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. The slope of the given equation (which is in slope-intercept form) is 1, the invisible coefficient of x. The opposite reciprocal of 1 is -1, thus the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = x + 4 is -1.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

We took $ 24 to the movies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total money be

On movies = Half of the money = $\frac{x}{2}$

On popcorn = $\frac{x}{4}$

on candy = $2

On soda = $3

total money spent = $\frac{x}{2}$ + $\frac{x}{4}$ + 2+3+1

x = $\frac{x}{2}$ + $\frac{x}{4}$ + 2+3+1

x- $\frac{x}{2}$ - $\frac{x}{4}$ = 6

$\frac{x}{1}$ - $\frac{x}{2}$ - $\frac{x}{4}$ =6

$\frac{4x-2x-x}{4} = 6\\ \frac{x}{4} =6\\x =24$
