Answer:
Step completed incorrectly: 2
Correct Answer: y = -4x + 22
Explanation:
The graph is a straight line through points M(4, -1) and N(8, 0). Point Q is located at (6, -2).
To calculate the slope of the line, substitute the points into the slope formula:

Therefore, the slope of MN is 1/4, so step 1 of Francisco's calculations is correct.
If two lines are perpendicular to each other, the slopes of these lines are negative reciprocals. The negative reciprocal of a number is its negative inverse.
The negative reciprocal of 1/4 is -4.
Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line is -4.
So Francisco has made an error in his calculation in step 2 by not making the perpendicular slope negative.
Corrected work






Therefore, step 2 has been completed incorrectly.
The correct answer is y = -4x + 22.
