It can be a yes because the line cross and make a perpendicular
Use the point-slope form: y-k = m(x-h).
Here, y-[-1]) = (17/14)(x+6), or y+2 = (17/14)(x+6). This could, of course, be solved for y if you wish. Mult. both sides by 14, we get 14y+28=17(x+6).
This becomes 17x + 102 - 14y - 28 = 0, or 17x -14y + 74 = 0 (which is standard form). You could also write 17x - 14y = -74.
Since the two numbers vary directly, if Y is quadrupled, X will do the same. 2 times 4 is 8, 15 times 4 is 60.
X = 60.
Hope that helps!! :)
Add her scores together and divide by 3
85+70+98=253
253 divide by 3 is 84.33
Let us say, the number is "a"
one less than "a" is ... well a - 1
2/5 of that will be... well, 2/5 * ( a - 1)
one more than "a" is... well a + 1
3/5 of that is.. hmmm 3/5 * (a + 1)
now, we're told that, the first expression is "less than" the second one, thus

solve for "a", or make it "x" if you wish, same thing anyway
