First off, let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm so what's the slope of y = 2x + 5?
well, notice, that equation is in slope-intercept form, thus
.
so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/2 and runs through 1,4.
Negative 73
drop of 73
minus 73
below 73
taking away 73
I searched the answer up becuase I didn’t know how they got the number but I hope this helps
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
I just rounded up my answer but if this is not correct then it is a decimal of 4.7
Remark
You have given the second best answer. Your answer is |x|<1. You should have open circles at 1 and - 1.
Solution
I have enclosed a graph that is not a number line. You could confine yourself to a number line just by tracing out the blue solution (which is the answer you want)
The red solution is what you did.
The blue solution does not include x = 1 nor does it include x = - 1. The number line would show 1 < x < ∞ and -∞ < x < -1
