y = 5/8x + 3/4
First, you have to subtract 5x from both sides. That will give you -8y = -5x -6
Then, you have to divide both sides by -8, which gives you y = 5/8x + 3/4
Answer:
y = - 3x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y =
x - 3 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= - 3, then
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (3, 2) into the partial equation
2 = - 9 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 9 = 11
y = - 3x + 11 ← equation of perpendicular line
Pam = 40
Tom = 25
40 (Pam) x 2 = 80
25 (Tom) x 2 = 50
130 - 50 (Tomx2) = 80
Pam (40) + Tom (25) = 65
