Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for a line is y=mx + b where m represents the slope
If a line is perpendicular to another line, it's slope is the negative reciprocal of the other line's slope.
The reciprocal of -4 is 
And the negative of that would be
Answer:
y=1x+-1
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
m=slope which is 1/1 because it is rise over run (rising 1, running 1)
b=y-intercept form which is -1 because that is where the line meets the y axis
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 1045 cm of red ribbon and 1045 cm of yellow ribbon
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let R represent the amount red ribbon and Y represent the amouont of yellow ribbon.
- bought the same lengths of red and yellow: R = Y
- after used 286 of red, yellow is 5 times the remaining red; 5(R - 836) = Y
Use substitution method to solve:
5(R - 836) = R
5R - 4180 = R <em>distributed 5 on the left side</em>
4R - 4180 = 0 <em>subtracted R from both sides</em>
4R = 4180 <em>added 4180 to both sides</em>
R = 1045 <em>divided both sides by 4</em>
