BARSIC [14]2 years ago

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

5x-y=-7\implies 5x-y+7=0 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{5} x+7=y\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so a line perpendicular to that one above will have a slope of

\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{5\implies \cfrac{5}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{5}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{5}}}

Carmen runs a video to DVD transfer business. She charges her customers $20.40 for each video transferred. Her expenses include
vovangra [49]

Answer:

A. p = $17.95n - $1,250.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit (p) = net revenue - expenditure

Net revenue = charge for transfer of n videos - expense for n blank DVD

charge per video transfer = $20.40

charge for n video transfer = $20.40 × n = $20.40n

expense per blank DVD = $2.45

expense for n blank DVD = $2.45 × n = $2.45n

Net revenue = $20.40n - $2.45n = $17.95n

expenditure = $1,250.00

Therefore, p = $17.95n - $1,250.00

What is the measure of arc AC?
8_murik_8 [283]

If Im not mistaken, the answer should be d because if you add all the degrees up, then you would get 222. And if you subtract 360 from 222 you get 138. I hope this helps. :)
