Write an equivalent to 2a+(8a+5b) by combing terms

Like terms have the same variable (x,y) and power/exponent.

2a + (8a + 5b)   The only like terms you can combine are 2a and 8a, because they have the same variable of "a" and an exponent of 1

10a + 5b

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)
