Maya and sally were the two finalists in a singing competition. the person with the most votes from the audience was chosen as the winner. sally received 25% of the total votes and lost by 62,500 votes. each audience member was allowed to vote only one time. the equation below represents this situation, where y is the total number of votes cast and x is the number of votes maya received: x − 62,500 = 0.25y if a total of 125,000 people voted, how many votes did maya receive?

1

step-by-step explanation:

it's the only multiple of both and the least

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)
