Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

find the equation of the segment two point (-5,5) and (-2,-4)

m=y2-y1/x2-x1 =5-(-4)/-5-(-2) =9/-3 = -3

find b : y= -3x+b

5 =-3(-5) +b

b=-10

the equation is : y=-3x-10

the perpendicular line is y=1/3 x -2/3

Cell Phone Company A charges $20 each month plus $0.03 per text. Cell Phone Company B charges $5 each month plus $0.07 per text.

Sidana [21]

Ur equations are :
C = 0.03t + 20...this is company A
C = 0.07t + 5....this is company B

now...for them to be equal...set them equal and solve for t
0.03t + 20 = .07t + 5
-5 + 20 = 0.07t - 0.03t
15 = 0.04t
15/0.04 = t
375 = t.......there would have to be 375 texts

Pythagoras was born about 582 bc. Isaac Newton was born in 1643 ad. How many years apart were they born?

malfutka [58]

B.C. counts down to 0, and that's when A.D. starts counting up. That means you can add 582 and 1643, to get their difference. Pythagoras and Newton were born 2,225 years apart.

If 5x – 4 = 31, what is the value of x?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

x = 5 $\frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

So, to answer this problem, I'll use the reverse method.

31 - 4 = 27,

So how many times, can 5 go into 27?

The closest factor of 5 to 27 is 25.

5 can go in to 27, 5 times.

Continuing on, there is a 2 left over, so the answer to your question is

x = 5 $\frac{2}{5}$

5 · 5 $\frac{2}{5}$ - 4 = 31

Let me know if I am incorrect and I will attempt to find the right answer for you.
