thomas is planning an activity for his students in which they will
put together the pieces of some puzzles. first he will split the class
into / groups. then each group will get a box containing four mini-puzzi
to solve. two of the mini-puzzles have 15 pieces, while the other
two mini-puzzles have 20 pieces. once the groups have solved their
mini-puzzles, the class will put all of the mini-puzzles together to make
a big class puzzle. mr. thomas wants to know how many puzzle pieces
will be in the big class puzzle.

answer:

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)
