Answer:
a) = Slope of line AB = 1/2
<h2><em><u>
Perpendicular = -2</u></em></h2>
<h2>b) <em><u>
y = -2x + 6</u></em></h2><h2 />
Step-by-step explanation:
a) When it is perpendicular the answer will be positive if the initial value is negative. If it is a whole number, then the perpendicular number is going to be a fraction. The opposite applies.
b) Slope = -2x
intercept = ?
y = -2x + b
0 = -6 + b
+6 +6
b = 6
<em><u>y = -2x + 6</u></em>
namely, how many times does 1⅗ goes into 8.
let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then divide.

Given that,
The three numbers are consecutive
The three numbers are
x
x + 1
x + 2
Also,
x × (x + 1) = (x + 2) + 7
x² + x = x + 9
x² + x - x = 9
x² = 9
x = √9
x = 3
The three numbers
x = 3
x + 1 = 4
x + 2 = 5
The sum of the three numbers
3 + 4 + 5 = 12
