Answer:

Olive will save $420 each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Olive earns $2,800 a month. $2,800 is 100% = 1 of her earnings. She wants to save x, which is 15% = 0.15 of her income. How much is x?

2800 - 1

x - 0.15x

x = 2800*0.15 = $420

Olive will save $420 each month.

write an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the two points. PLEASE do 4,5 and 6

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

4. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{1}{8}$

5. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = - 2x + 16

6. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise some important rules

The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is -1, that means if the slope of one of them is m, then the slope of the other is $-\frac{1}{m}$ (reciprocal m and change its sign)
The perpendicular bisector of a line means another line perpendicular to it and intersect it in its mid-point
The formula of the slope of a line is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$
The mid point of a segment whose end points are $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is $(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})$
The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

4.

∵ The line passes through (7 , 2) and (4 , 6)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ $x_{1}$ = 7 and $x_{2}$ = 4

∵ $y_{1}$ = 2 and $y_{2}$ = 6

∴ $m=\frac{6-2}{4-7}=\frac{4}{-3}$

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = $\frac{3}{4}$

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{7+4}{2},\frac{2+6}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{11}{2},\frac{8}{2})=(\frac{11}{2},4)$

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of the mid-point

∵ 4 = $\frac{3}{4}$ × $\frac{11}{2}$ + b

∴ 4 = $\frac{33}{8}$ + b

- Subtract $\frac{33}{8}$ from both sides

∴ $-\frac{1}{8}$ = b

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{1}{8}$

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - $\frac{1}{8}$

5.

∵ The line passes through (8 , 5) and (4 , 3)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ $x_{1}$ = 8 and $x_{2}$ = 4

∵ $y_{1}$ = 5 and $y_{2}$ = 3

∴ $m=\frac{3-5}{4-8}=\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = -2

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{8+4}{2},\frac{5+3}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{12}{2},\frac{8}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = (6 , 4)

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = - 2x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of the mid-point

∵ 4 = -2 × 6 + b

∴ 4 = -12 + b

- Add 12 to both sides

∴ 16 = b

∴ y = - 2x + 16

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = - 2x + 16

6.

∵ The line passes through (6 , 1) and (0 , -3)

- Use the formula of the slope to find its slope

∵ $x_{1}$ = 6 and $x_{2}$ = 0

∵ $y_{1}$ = 1 and $y_{2}$ = -3

∴ $m=\frac{-3-1}{0-6}=\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}$

- Reciprocal it and change its sign to find the slope of the ⊥ line

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = $-\frac{3}{2}$

- Use the rule of the mid-point to find the mid-point of the line

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{6+0}{2},\frac{1+-3}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = $(\frac{6}{2},\frac{-2}{2})$

∴ The mid-point = (3 , -1)

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∵ y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of the mid-point

∵ -1 = $-\frac{3}{2}$ × 3 + b

∴ -1 = $-\frac{9}{2}$ + b

- Add $\frac{9}{2}$ to both sides

∴ $\frac{7}{2}$ = b

∴ y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{7}{2}$

∴ The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y = $-\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{7}{2}$

A company buys computers and printers. Each computer costs $550 and each printer costs $390. If the company spends $8160 and buy

maxonik [38]

Answer:the company bought 12 computers and 4 printers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of computers that the company bought.

Let y represent the number of printers that the company bought.

The company buys a total of 16 machines. It means that

x + y = 16

Each computer costs $550 and each printer costs $390. If the company spends $8160 for all the computers and printers that was bought, it means that

550x + 390y = 8160 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 16 - y into equation 1, it becomes

550(16 - y) + 390y = 8160

8800 - 550y + 390y = 8160

- 550y + 390y = 8160 - 8800

- 160y = - 640

y = - 640/ - 160

y = 4

Substituting y = 4 into x = 16 - y, it becomes

x = 16 - 4

x = 12
