Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-axis and any lines that are parallel to it are vertical. Therefore, a line that would be perpendicular to the y-axis would need to be horizontal. All horizontal lines have a slope equal to 0 and are represented by the equation y = a constant, or a single number with no variables.

The only option that follows that format is y = 5, thus that is the answer.

Need help with number 6

12345 [234]

Answer: 172

Explanation:

Mystery Science Fiction Biographies

4x 3x

4y 5y

Science Fiction = 48

3x = 48 ⇒ x = 16

4y = 48 ⇒ y = 12

Mystery: 4x = 4(16) = 64

Biographies: 5y = 5(12) = 60

Mystery + Science Fiction + Biographies = Total

64 + 48 + 60 = Total

172 = Total
