B)1,131.20 would be the answer. 1010x0.14=141.4x8=B
B = ym + y
B - y = ym
(B - y) / y = m
or
B/y - 1 = m
Y = -10x + 1...slope here is -10. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal of a number, flip the number and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will need a slope of 1/10.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/10
(5,7)....x = 5 and y = 7
now sub and find b, the y int
7 = 1/10(5) + b
7 = 1/2 + b
7 - 1/2 = b
14/2 - 1/2 = b
13/2 = b
so ur perpendicular line going thru (5,7) is y = 1/10x + 13/2
We know that area=0.5*base*height.
Thus, the equation would look like:
127.5=0.5*base*height
That means, 255 = base*height.
We know base is 17
Then, we divide 255 by 17. That gets us the height.
The height equals 15.
