The equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is y = –4x – 16.
Solution:
The equation of a line given is y = 0.25x – 7
Slope of the given line(
) = 0.25
Let
be the slope of the perpendicular line.
Passes through the point (–6, 8).
<em>If two lines are perpendicular then the product of the slopes equal to –1.</em>




Point-slope intercept formula:

and 
Substitute these in the formula, we get



Add 8 on both sides of the equation.


Hence the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is
y = –4x – 16
21/7 = 3 so then, 105/7 = x which is 15
Answer:
error in summing terms in x
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3x + 5x = 180 ( collect like terms on left )
9x = 180 ← ( 9x not 8x )
divide both sides by 9
x = 20
