Use the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to 1/2 (8y - x - 12).

4y - 0.5x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 (8y - x - 12)

= (8y * [1/2]) - (x * [1/2]) - (12 * [1/2])

= (8y/2) - (x/2) - (12/2)

=  4y - 0.5x - 6

Tell me if I got it wrong! Hope this helps!

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)
