Answer:
- 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Arrange this line equation into y = mx + b form m = slope
y = 2/5x + 12/5
then perpindicular line = - 1/m = - 1/ (2/5) = - 5/2
-7x - 2y = -13
-7x + 7x - 2y = 7x - 13
-2y = 7x - 13
-2 -2
y = -3.5x + 6.5
x - 2y = 11
x - 2(-3.5x + 6.5) = 11
x - 2(-3.5x) - 2(6.5) = 11
x + 7x - 13 = 11
8x - 13 = 11
+ 13 + 13
8x = 24
8 8
x = 3
y = -3.5x + 6.5
y = -3.5(3) + 6.5
y = -10.5 + 6.5
y = -4
(x, y) = (3, -4)
.5 is basically 1/2. We know this because .5 written as a fraction is 50/100 which you can simplify to 1/2.
6/10 is greater than 1/2. You can find this out by converting 1/2 to tenths. Multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 to get 5/10. From there you can easily see that 6/10 > 5/10.
As for the number line simply use 10ths: 1/10, 2/10, 3/10 ... and input 6/10 and 5/10 in the appropriate areas.
So it would be 10-2x . X would be the months and it would be -2 because she uses that much per month
