Answer:

m = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x-4

This is in slope intercept form

y = mx+b m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is 3 and the y intercept is -4

We want the slope of a line that is perpendicular

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

Let m be the slope of the line that is perpendicular

3 * m = -1

Divide each side by 3

3m/3 = -1/3

m = -1/3

Answer:

100 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of blocks built by Gage.

We have been given that Colton was 5 times as fast at building the castle than Gage, so number of blocks built by Colton would be $5x$ .

We are also told that it takes 120 blocks to build the castle. Since Colton and Gage were building a castle together, so number of blocks built by both will be equal to 120.

$x+5x=120$

$6x=120$

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{120}{6}$

$x=20$

Number of blocks built by Colton: $5x=5\cdot 20=100$ .

Therefore, Colton had build 100 blocks.

This might not be right sorry :

14+14=28
79-28=51

9x4=36
51-36=15
15÷3=5

therefore (I think) there should be 5 inches between each picture.
