Give the slope of a line perpendicular to AB

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the equation in slope intercept form [ y = mx + b ] for line AB. Find the slope using the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].

8-5/7-4

3/3

1

Find the y-intercept.

5 = 1(4) + b

5 = 4 + b

1 = b

So the equation of the line AB is y = x + 1.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the original line.

1 -> -1/1 -> -1

Best of Luck!

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
