Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. The slope of the given equation (which is in slope-intercept form) is 1, the invisible coefficient of x. The opposite reciprocal of 1 is -1, thus the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = x + 4 is -1.
Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:
To solve a system of quadratic equations:
- Equal the equations then rearrange so that it is set to zero.
- Use the quadratic formula to solve.
I have done this (see attached workings) but cannot get any of the solutions you've provided. I have even graphed the two functions, and the points of intersection concur with my workings (see attached graph).
He worked 9 hours in his first job and 5 hours in his second
I would say that it would be less than. The question says Jenn shared a total of 40 jellybeans equally and to share with others, Jenn would have to divide the jellybeans among her friends. Since she is dividing the jellybeans, the amount each friend gets would be less than the total. Therefore it would be less than 40.
