Answer:

y = 3x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines will have a opposite reciprocal slope, so the slope will be 3.

Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b, then solve for b:

y = mx + b

4 = 3(6) + b

4 = 18 + b

-14 = b

Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b

y = 3x - 14

So, the equation of the line is y = 3x - 14

One number is six times another number. Their difference is 35. What are the two numbers?
konstantin123 [22]









x - y = 35
x = 6y
Plug 6y in for x in the first equation.
6y - y = 35
5y = 35
Divide both sides by 5
y = 7
x = 6y
x = 6(7) = 42
42 and 7
Letter C
Since we had the answers we could have just tried the answers but you will not always have multiple choice so this is the method for solving.
