Yes, BUt where's the fraction
It means that value is not counted. it’s there but you don’t include it

Answer: a < 14 (Choice B)</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
Add 4 to both sides
a-4 < 10
a-4+4 < 10+4
a < 14
The reason why we add 4 to both sides is to undo the "minus 4" that's happening to the variable.
The ordered pairs for the intercepts are as follows:
x intercept = 9/2
y intercept = -18
In order to find either of these you must put 0's in for the other variable. So, to find the x intercept, we start by putting 0 in for y.
y = 4x - 18
0 = 4x - 18
-4x = -18
x = 9/2
To find the y intercept, we put a 0 in for x.
y = 4x - 18
y = 4(0) - 18
y = 0 - 18
y = -18
Y= 3X + 1. Perpendicular means you would change the slope by flipping it and changing the sign. So the slope then becomes 3. Then you use your points to find the y-intercept by filling in the variables. 7=3(2) + B. 7=6 + B. Then subtract 6 from both sides. B=1. Then you just put your problem back into slope intercept form with your new slope and y-intercept. Y=3x + 1.
