Through (4,-4) ; perpendicular to 6y=x-12

y = mx + b

m = slope and b = y-intercept


We can arrange 6y = x - 12 in the form of y = mx + b

                  6y = x - 12

                    y = 1/6(x) - 2

Slope of y = 1/6(x) - 2 is 1/6. Taking the negative reciprocal of the slope we get the slope for the perpendicular line.

Negative reciprocal of 1/6 is -6.

The equation for the perpendicular line is

                  y = -6x + b

To find b we can plug in the x and y values of (4,-4) into it since it passes through those coordinates

                -4 = -6(4) + b

                 b = -4 + 6(4)

                 b = -4 + 24

                 b = 20

So the equation for the perpendicular line is y = -6x + 20

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

  20 chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

After 136 people are seated in the bleacher, there can be 514 people seated in chairs. We know that 514 = 25×20 +14, so there can be 20 rows of 25 chairs. We require an equal number of chairs in each row, so there cannot be some rows with 21 chairs, nor can there be a 26th row with 14 chairs.

There can be 20 chairs in each row.

Which number line shows the solution for
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

It's the last choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

| n | ≤ 2  represents the distance between n and 0 that is less than or equal to 2.  The dots on the 2 and -2 are black because the equal sign is part of the inequality.

Note the vertical lines about the n mean the absolute value of n - the positive distance between  n and 0, which has a maximum of 2 either side of the 0.
