keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmmm what's the slope of that line above anyway,

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{(-1)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{1}}}\implies \cfrac{2+1}{3}\implies 1 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{\underline{1}\implies \cfrac{\underline{1}}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{\underline{1}}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{\underline{1}}\implies -1}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1 and runs through (2,5)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{5}=\stackrel{m}{-1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \\\\\\ y-5=-x+2\implies y=-x+7

Explain why it is necessary to rename 4 1/4 if you subtract 3/4 from it
Alik [6]
To subtract a number from another number, they must be the same type. 4 1/4 is a mixed number; 3/4 is a fraction. thus, 4 1/4 must be converted into fractional form go subract a fraction (3/4) from it.

Pls help me! I'm confused

The question is asking you to organize the data in line plot form. to do so you must create a number line (which in this case is provided for you) and put X's above the numbers. for example lets say your given the following data :
1, 2 ,2 , 4 , 1 , 3 , 2 , 5 
this is how you would graph it in line plot form 



x .      x
x .      x .           x .         x .          x

_________________________________________
1 . . .   2 .          3 .         4 .          5
  
but in your case not al the numbers listed are on the plot so instead you do this:
x .    x
x .    x .      x .      x .        x
___________________________________
1 .              3 .                5 . 
plot as if the numbers are there. ( as usual spacing is important)
