Well, <span>y=2/3x+4  is already in slope-intercept form, therefore    </span>\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{3}}x+4.

so, a perpendicular line to a line with that slope, will have a negative reciprocal slope

\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad \cfrac{2}{3}\\\\&#10;slope=\cfrac{2}{{{ 3}}}\qquad negative\implies  -\cfrac{2}{{{ 3}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ 3}}}{2}

so then, what's the equation of a line whose slope is -3/2 and goes through -2,-2?

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}&#10;&x_1&y_1\\&#10;%   (a,b)&#10;&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies -\cfrac{3}{2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% point-slope intercept&#10;\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-(-2)=-\cfrac{3}{2}[x-(-2)]&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y+2=-\cfrac{3}{2}(x+2)\implies y+2=-\cfrac{3}{2}x-3\implies y=-\cfrac{3}{2}x-5

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Senior citizen tickets = $9

Student tickets = $11

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by converting these into simultaneous linear equation;

Senior citizen tickets = a

Student tickets = b

5a + 9b = 144

14a + 6b = 192

5a = 144 - 9b

a = 144/5 - 9b/5

a = 28.8 - 1.8b

We now substitute this into the first equation

14(28.8 - 1.8b) + 6b = 192

403.2 - 25.2b +6b = 192

-19.2b = 192 - 403.2

b = -211.2/-19.2

b = 11

Put the value of b into either equation

5a + 9b = 144

5a + 9(11) = 144

5a +99 = 144

5a = 144-99

5a = 45

a = 9
