Answer:
sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the negative reciprocal of each other. (Basically flip the sign +/- and the fraction(switch the numerator and the denominator))
For example:
Slope = 2 or 
Perpendicular line's slope =
(flip the sign from + to -, and flip the fraction)
Slope = 
Perpendicular line's slope =
(flip the sign from - to +, and flip the fraction)
y = 1/3x + 4 The slope is 1/3, so the perpendicular line's slope is
or -3.
Now that you know the slope, substitute/plug it into the equation:
y = mx + b
y = -3x + b To find b, plug in the point (1, 2) into the equation, then isolate/get the variable "b" by itself
2= -3(1) + b Add 3 on both sides to get "b" by itself
2 + 3 = -3 + 3 + b
5 = b
y = -3x + 5
Remark
What this is trying to tell you is that you have two factors. Each in turn can be zero, but they cannot be zero at the same time. You will get that kind of question, just not now.
So either - n = 0 or 5n - 4 =0
Solution
- n = 0 Multiply both sides by - 1
(-1)*(-n) = 0*-1
n = 0
5n - 4 = 0 Add 4 to both sides.
5n = 4 Divide by 5
n = 4/5
Comment
B and D are both wrong 4/5 is positive. and those list n as -4/5 which is wrong.
A is wrong because the function will not go to 0 if n = -1
