Your friend claims that if a line has a slope less than 1, then any line perpendicular to it must have a positive slope. Is your
 friend correct?. Explain your reasoning

Answer:
The friend's claim is not correct
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal yo -1)
Example
A given line has a slope of  ---> (is less than 1)
  ---> (is less than 1)
the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is equal to

substitute


so
the perpendicular line don't have a positive slope
therefore
The friend's claim is not correct

The answer is x = -10
Explanation:
3x-8-8x=42 
3x-8x = 42-8 
-5x = 50 ---> do 
x = -10
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
y=-4x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is Delta Y over Delta Y so the slope is -4. The Y intercept is at (0,4) sot the equations is y= - 4x +4
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
-108
Step-by-step explanation:
just multiply the numbers. it will be negative because there is odd number of negative sign so the profuct would be negative
