Simonne used the following steps to simplify the given expression. 12 - 3(-2x + 4)
step 1: 12 + (–3)·(–2x) + (–3)·(4)
step 2: 12 + 6x + (–12)
step 3: 12 + (–12) + 6x
step 4: 0 + 6x step 5: 6x

what property of real numbers was used to transition from step 3 to step 4?
a. identity property of addition
b. inverse property of addition
c. associative property of addition
d. commutative property of addition

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)

b, i believe, but not sure.

hit or miss i guess they never miss huh
