Carter and his cousin are playing a game where they pick up colored sticks. Carter currently has 24 points and likes to pick up the purple sticks, earning 9 points every turn. His cousin just lost all his points on the
previous turn, and has a strategy to catch up by getting all the pink ones, earning 17 points per turn. In a
certain number of turns, the score will be tied. How many points will they each have? How long will that
take?

215.92 dollars is the answer

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)
