Answer:

y = -1/5 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the point (1,2) for the x and the y in the equation, set the 4 to b since we are solving for b.

2 = -5(1) + b  now solve for b

2 = -5 + b

+5   +5

7 = b

we know that the slope must be the reciprocal for it to be perpendicular

y = -1/5 + 7 add b (7) to the equation and change the reciprocal

Bezzdna [24]
He used 11/12 of sugar.

(1) I multiplied the factors and denominators by eachothers denominators
(2) I ended up with the two converted fractions: 8/12 and 3/12. The reason for this step is because if the two fractions have the smae denominator, it helps make it easier to add the fraction.
(3) I added the fractions, getting the sum of 11/12
