*Select TWO answers* Name the first step that could be used to solve this equation: -7(x-12) = 42*

Distribute the -7 to both the x and the -12

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.

Divide both sides of the equation by - 7

Divide both sides of the equation by 42

Multiply both sides of the equation by -7

Add 12 to both sides of the equation

Distribute the -7 to both the x and the -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step taken would be to distribute the -7 to the x and the -12 to get rid of the ()

-7(x-12) = 42*

-7x + 84 = 42*

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)
