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

y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{2}{5}}x-1\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} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{-2}{5}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{5}{-2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{5}{-2}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 5/2 and it passes through (-2 , 14)

(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{14})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{5}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{14}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{5}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)}) \implies y -14= \cfrac{5}{2} (x +2) \\\\\\ y-14=\cfrac{5}{2}x+5\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=\cfrac{5}{2}x+19 \end{array}}

A cell phone company charges a monthly fee of $35 and an addition $0.20 per minute used.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

35 + .2m

Step-by-step explanation:

The monthly fee of $35 is a base pay, and you don't change anything with it.

The "m" stands for minute, and since it costs $.20 for each minute, multiply the two together to get that part of the equation.
