Answer:  y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line, which is y = x-12.  The slope here is 1, so the negative inverse would be -1/1, or -1.  The perpendicular line would therefore be:

y = -1x + b

We can find b by using the given point (3,-7) as a solution:

y = -1x + b

-7 = -1*3 + b

b = - 4

The equation is therefore   y = -x - 4

choli [55]

Answer:

  See below

Step-by-step explanation:

16 + (18 + 10) = (x + 18) + 10x

16 + 28 = (x + 18) + 10x        Add like terms in the parentheses

44 = (x + 10x) + 18               Use the community property to regroup like

                                            terms

44 = 11x + 18                         Simply

<u>-18 =        -18</u>                         Substract 18 from both side

26  = 11x                               Simply

<u>26</u>  =  <u>11x</u>                              Divide by 11

11        11

2\frac{4}{11} = x                               Reduce
