In y - y1 = m(x - x1) form, the slope will be in the m position. So in ur equation, which is in that form, the number in the m position (the slope) is 5/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, u flip the original slope and change the sign. So with our slope of 5/2.....we flip it making it 2/5....we change the sign making it -2/5. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/5.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2/5
(-7,8)....x = -7 and y = 8
now we sub into the formula and find b, the y int
8 = -2/5(-7) + b
8 = 14/5 + b
8 - 14/5 = b
40/5 - 14/5 = b
26/5 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2/5x + 26/5 <==

Hello! So a 9% commission is earned on the amount of beauty supplies sold. To find out the amount of commission earned, all you have to do is multiply $895 by 9%. 895 * 9% (0.09) is 80.55. $80.55 is earned in commission, Now, add 450 to that amount. 80.55 + 450 is 530.55. There. Danielle earned a total of $530.55 this week.

What would you have to do to change 10 cubic feet into cubic inches? 
Temka [501]
1 ft = 12 inches
(1 ft)^3 = (12 inches)^3
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

You'll multiply by the conversion factor (1278 in^3)/(1 ft^3) to convert from cubic feet to cubic inches. Notice how the cubic feet ft^3 unit is at the bottom of the conversion fraction, so that the cubic feet units cancel.

Answer: A) multiply by 1728
