Answer:

b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite sign and reciprocals (flipped over).

In the equation

ax + by = c,

the slope of the line is

-a/b

If you haven't memorized this pattern yet, you can calculate it by solving ax+by=c for y.

by = -ax +c

y = -a/b x + c/b

The slope is -a/b

So a perpendicular line would be opposite sign and flipped, b/a

Answer:

If the 20% discount is by the hour then the answer would be $11.70 I think.

0.25x78= 19.50

19.50x0.20(20%)= 3.90

19.50-3.90-3.90= 11.70

Hope this helps!
