Answer:
b<negative 4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
negative 4/7 plus5/7= 2/7

Are the cupcakes 37 dollars each or is it 37 dollars for 20 cupcakes?
if they are $37 each then sally can buy 2 cupcakes
if they are $37 for 20 then sally can buy 40 cupcakes
I believe the answer is
-5
Explanation:
All of these are done the same way.
1. Set your compass to a distance slightly longer than the distance from the point to the line you want the perpendicular to.
2. Using the point as a center, draw an arc that intersects the line in 2 places. Consider those points to be "P" and "Q".
3. You can leave the compass as is, or set it to any other distance longer than half the distance between P and Q. Using this radius, and using P and Q as centers, draw intersecting arcs on the other side of the line from the original point. Consider the intersection of those arcs to be point "R".
4. A line through the original point and point R will be perpendicular to the line, as you want.
_____
In problem 1, the point and line are obvious.
In problem 2, the point is the vertex opposite the line of interest. (There will be 3 similar constructions.)
