What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y=3/5xplus 10 and passes through the point (15,-5)?

Step-by-step explanation:

a general line equation is

y = ax + b

the original line is

y = 3/5 x + 10

the factor of x is always the slope (inclination of the line).

it is "y change/x change".

the slope of a perpendicular line (angle of 90°) is turning the slope of the original line upside-down and flips the sign.

so, it is -5/3.

we use the point information to get the right "b" for our new line :

-5 = -5/3 × 15 + b

-5 = -5×5 + b

-5 = -25 + b

b = 20

so, the perpendicular line equation going through (15, -5) is

y = -5/3 x + 20

Step 1) Convert $25 to a decimal:

0.25

Step 2) Multiply that by the amount the sandals cost.

$0.25×$45=$11.25

Step 3) Subtract from the amount you last got.

$45-$11.25=

$33.75

And there we have it! Our answer came out to $33.75.
So, with the 25% off, Sandy is now only paying $33.75 instead of $45.

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle,

90 = (x + 20) + (x + 10)

90 = x + x + 20 + 10

90 = 2x + 30

90 - 30 = 2x

60 = 2x

60/2 = 2x/2

30 = x

Check:

x + 20

30 + 20 = 50

x + 10

30 + 10 = 40

50 + 40 = 90

Hope this helps!
