Answer:

y = -1/3x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. The given line's slope is the coefficient of x: 3. So, the perpendicular line's slope will be ...

m = -1/3

Only one answer choice has that value as the coefficient of x:

y = -1/3x -1

No matter what number you substitute for y, this equation will be untrue.

It has zero solutions.

Is this supposed to be a matching game of some sort? If so, I don’t think any of these here match what’s in the tables.

Emily is thinking of a number she calls it n then she finds 1 fourth of it and subtracts 3 level F iready

Answer:

n/4 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's "break" the statement in simpler parts:

First, we start with a number n.

Now, we need to find one fourth of that number, that is:

(1/4)*n = n/4

And finally, we need to subtract 3 from that, then we get:

n/4 - 3

So the statement:

"Emily is thinking of a number she calls it n then she finds 1 fourth of it and subtracts 3"

Can be written as:

n/4 - 3
