Luis and Erin are playing a game. They each start with 0 points. At the end of the game, Luis has 250 points, and Erin has -250 points.

(A) Erin has lost 250 points.

(B) Luis has 250 more points than Erin.

(C) Erin and Luis have a total of 500 points.

(D) Erin and Luis have an equal number of points.

A) Erin has lost 250 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason A is correct is because Erin has -250 points, which means he went down or lost them.

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)
