Answer:

\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{2}x-2\to -x+2y=-4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>

Let

k:y=m_1x+b_1,\ l:y=m_2x+b_2

l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\l\ \parallel\ k\iff m_1=m_2

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Convert given equation of a line to the slope-intercept form:

-x+2y=12         <em>add x to both sides</em>

2y=x+12         <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+6

The slope

m=\dfrac{1}{2}

We have

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+b

Put the coordinates of the given point P(4, 0) to the equation:

0=\dfrac{1}{2}(4)+b

0=2+b              <em>subtract 2 from both sides</em>

-2=b\to b=-2

Finally we have:

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x-2

Convert to the standard form (<em>Ax + By = C</em>):

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x-2          <em>multiply both sides by 2</em>

2y=x-4         <em>subtract x from both sides</em>

-x+2y=-4

Answer:

y=\frac{x}{2} - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = \frac{x+12}{2}

if it goes through 4,0 and has a gradient of x/2 the y-int is at -2.

therefore, y=\frac{x}{2} - 2

A bookshop had 650 copies of a book for sale. The books were marked at 75 per copy in order to make a profit of 30%. A bookselle
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The percentage profit of the bookshop will make on the whole is 27%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following are given in the question:

Copies of books for sale = 650

Selling price per copy = 75

Copies sold at 5% discount = 300

Discount rate = 5%, or 0.05

Percentage profit per copy = 30%, or 0.30

To calculate cost per copy, the following formula is used:

Percentage profit per copy = (Selling price per copy – Cost per copy) / Cost per copy …….. (1)

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for Cost per copy, we have:

30% = (75 - Cost per copy) / Cost per copy

0.30 * Cost per copy = 75 - Cost per copy

(0.30 * Cost per copy) + Cost per copy = 75

1.30 * Cost per copy = 75

Cost per copy = 75 / 1.30

Cost per copy = 57.6923076923077

Therefore, we have:

Total cost = Copies of books for sale * Cost per copy = 650 * 57.6923076923077 = 37,500

Selling price at 5% discount = 75 * (100% - Discount rate) = 75 * (100% - 5%) = 75 * 95% = 71.25

Revenue from sales at selling price at 5% discount = Selling price at 5% discount * Number of sales at 5% discount = 71.25 * 300 = 21,375

Revenue from the remaining copies sold at 75 per copy = (Copies of books for sale - 300) * 75 = (650 - 300) * 75 = 350 * 75 = 26,250

Total revenue = Revenue from sales at selling price at 5% discount + Revenue from sales at 75 per copy = 21,375 + 26,250 = 47,625

Total profit = Total revenue - Total cost = 47,625 - 37,500 = 10,125

To calculate the percentage profit of the bookshop will make on the whole, the following formula is used:

Percentage profit on the whole = (Total profit / Total cost) * 100 ................ (2)

Substituting the relevant values form above into equation (2), we have:

Percentage profit on the whole = (10,125 / 37,500) * 100

Percentage profit on the whole = 0.27 * 100

Percentage profit on the whole = 27%

Therefore, the percentage profit of the bookshop will make on the whole is 27%.

the width of a rectangle is 9m less than it's legnth if the perimeter of the rectangle is 54m find the legnth of the garden​
Nata [24]

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w)

So, 54cm = 2(l+9cm)

=> 54cm = 2l + 18cm

=> 54cm - 18cm = 2l

=> 36cm = 2l

=> 36cm/2 = l

=> 18cm = l
