Answer:
-1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
m * 4 = -1
Divide by 4
m = -1/4
The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line that has a slope of 4 is -1/4
Let the three consecutive integers be x , x+1 ,x+2
Given, sum of three consecutive integers = -126
x +x+1+ x+2 = -126
3x +3 = -126
3x = -126 -3
3x = -129
x = -129/3
x = - 43
x +1 = -42
x +2 = -41
21+45+70=136
136+(2+x)=180
First subtract 136 from both sides
(2+x)=44=M<ROS
Subtract 2 from both sides
x=42
