The equation of a line is y= -1/2x - 2. What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first line and passes thro

If two line are perpendicular. The multiply of their slopes are equal to -1. 
First line's slope is: -1/2x because if the line equation is form of y=ax+b a is slope. 
Let say second line's slope is m
m.-1/2=-1  so m=2 
y=ax+b is general form of linear function/equation. (a=slope)
y=2x+b 
If this line passes through the point (2,-2),if we write -2 to y and 2 to x, the equation becomes true. 
-2=4+b
b=-6 
Thus, 
y=2x-6 is true answer.

Mr. Malone is contemplating which chauffeured car service to take to the airport. The first costs $28 upfront and $2 per mile. T
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The distance is 8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write an equation for each of chauffeured car services.

The first one = 28 + 2x = ?

The second one = 13 + 5x = ?

Next, we need to figure out what x is. Usually I just plug in random numbers, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it.

I first plugged in 2 as x.

28 + 4 = 32

13 + 10 = 23

That didn't work, so I then plugged in 5.

28 + 10 = 38

13 + 25 = 38

So 5 would be the correct answer for what is the distance.

A box of oat cereal costs $3.90 for 15 ounces. A box of rice of cereal costs $3.30 for 11 ounces. Which box of cereal costs less
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The cost of per ounce of oat cereal is $0.04 less than per ounce cost of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of 15 ounces of oat cereal box = $3.90

Cost of 11 ounces of rice box = $3.30

To compare the unit prices of the the boxes.

Solution:

Using unitary method to find the unit prices:

If 15 ounce of oat box cost =$3.90

∴ 1 ounce of oat cereal would cost = \$\frac{3.90}{15}=\$0.26

∴ Per ounce cost of oat cereal = $0.26

If 11 ounce of rice box cost =$3.30

∴ 1 ounce of rice would cost = \$\frac{3.30}{11}=\$0.3

∴ Per ounce cost of rice = $0.3

Difference in unit costs of oat and rice = \$0.3-\$0.26=\$0.04

On comparing the the unit costs of oats and rice, we find out that the cost of per ounce of oat cereal is $0.04 less than per ounce cost of rice.
