Answer:

D. y = 4x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that is perpendicular to the line MN should have a slope that when multiplied by the slope of line MN will result to negative one. Therefore,

Therefore,

m₁ × m₂ = -1

Using the 2 coordinates of MN let's find the slope,

(-7, 6)(5, 3)

Therefore,

m₁ = 3 - 6 / 5 - (-7) = -3 / 12 = - 1 / 4

The equation that represent a line perpendicular to the line MN is

y = 4x - 6 because the slope slope(m₂) is 4.

From our formula,

4 × - 1 / 4 = - 1

So, option D meets the requirement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is the problem:

At a school, 147 students play at least one sport. This is 35% of the students at the school. How many students are at the school?

147/35 = x/100

35x=147*100

35x=14,700

x=420

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically I use rise over run, or rise ÷ run.

The rise is 4 and the run is 2 in the section I chose. 4÷2 is equal to 2, so the rate of change is 2 feet per second.
