I Believe Its 9
9 * 3 = 27
9 * 4 = 36
Or
27 / 9 = 3
36 / 9 = 4
- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept.
If two lines are perpendicular, then they will have slopes that are <u>negative reciprocals</u> to each other. An example of negative reciprocals are 2 and -1/2
<h2>6.</h2>
Now with line 2, I have to convert it to slope intercept form. Firstly, subtract 2x on both sides of the equation: 
Next, divide both sides by -5 and your slope-intercept form is 
Now since 2/5 is <em>not</em> the negative reciprocal of -2/5, <u>these lines are not perpendicular.</u>
<h2>7.</h2>
It's pretty much the same process; convert to slope-intercept and determine if negative reciprocal. This time I'll brush through them:

Now since 2 <em>is</em> the negative reciprocal of -1/2, <u>these lines are perpendicular.</u>
The simplified expression is 7x+20
Answer:
it's either a or b, but I would go with A
The first step for solving this equation is to write

in exponential form with a base of 5.

=

Write

in exponential form with a base of 5.

=

Since the bases on both sides of the equal are the same,, set the exponents equal.
2x + 4 = -4x
Move the constant to the right side of the equation and then change its sign.
2x = -4x - 4
Now move the variable to the left side and change its sign.
2x + 4x = -4
Collect the terms with an x variable.
6x = -4
Lastly,, divide both sides of the equation by 6 to get your final answer.
x =
