Andre says that 1/4 is less than -3/4 because, of the two numbers, 1/4 is closer to 0. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning.

Andre is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Andre is wrong because 1/4 is a positive number and -3/4 is a negative number so that makes Andre wrong for that, but if it is who is closer to 0 then Andre is right because when you look at it on a table you can see that 1/4 is closer.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
