Which equation represents the number of test questions in the problem below?
A test is worth 50 points. Multiple-choice questions are worth 1 point, and
short-answer questions are worth 3 points. If the test has 20 questions, how
many multiple-choice questions are there?
A. m + s = 50
B. m + 2s = 20
C. m + s = 20
D. m. s= 20

Option C. is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations for this problem will be.

m + s = 20 (total no. of questions)

1m + 3s = 50 (total no. of points)

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
