Write the equation of the line perpendicular to y= 2/5x+6/6 that passes through the point (-2,6)

1 answer:

3 0

The line to find: y = mx + b
the line perpendicular to y= 2/5x+6/6 so it has the slope m × 2/5 = -1
thus the slope m = -5/2
the line passes through the point (-2,6) so:
6 = (-5/2)×(-2) + b so b = 1

the equation of the line is y = -5/2x +1

Answer:

Correct answer is:

$5y+6r=660\\y=2r+8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Number of bracelets with yellow beads is represented by $y$

Each bracelet with yellow beads is sold for $5.

Total money raised by bracelets with yellow beads = Number of bracelets sold $\times$ Money raised by sale of one such bracelet = $5y$

Also Given that Number of bracelets with Orange beads is represented by $r$

Each bracelet with orange beads is sold for $6.

Total money raised by bracelets with orange beads = Number of bracelets sold $\times$ Money raised by sale of one such bracelet = $6r$

Given that total money raised by sale of both type of bracelets is $660.

so, the first equation becomes:

$5y+6r=660 ....... (1)$

It is also given that "<em>The number of bracelets with yellow beads that Sierra sold is 8 more than twice the number of bracelets with orange beads</em>"

$\Rightarrow r =2r+8 ...... (2)$
