Okay, so a general rule for finding perpendicular lines in the form of y = mx + b is y = (-1/m) + b.
First, let's ignore b (-7) because we're going to find that later.
A perpendicular line to y = 4x + b is y = -1/4x + b.
Alright, so now let's plug in the values. They are in the form of (x,y), so let's plug them in accordingly.
3 = -1/4(4) + b
3 = -1 + b
b = 4
y = -1/4x + 4
So a line perpendicular to y = 4x - 7 is y = -1/4x + 4.
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use slope-intercept form, you can see that B uses the equation y = 5x - 4, and you can also see that it is linear since it is proportional. The only coordinate plane that has a nonlinear line is D.
Solve for p by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
p=6
Just put it in the calculator and divide 4 by 5 then do 3 by 5 and keep on
