Find the difference in the ages of two people if one was born in 27 B. C. and the other was born in 16 A. D.

43 years

Step-by-step explanation:

So its kind of an absolute value problem so you have to look at it like the distance from 0 A.D.

27+16=42

-2 is the right

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)
