Multiple both sides by 5/1 and get
-1/1 • (x-4) = -10/1
divide the numbers and get
-1 • (x-4) = -10
remove the parentheses
- x-4 = 10
move the constant to the right
-x = -10-4
calculate
-x = -14
change the signs
x= 14
The decimal number is 0.9
Answer:
y = -1/2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x - 3. The slope here is 2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, just flip the slope and change the sign.
slope = 2 or 2/1.....flip it.....1/2....change the sign...-1/2. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/2.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = - 1/2
(2,1)....x = 2 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y intercept
1 = -1/2(2) + b
1 = -1 + b
1 + 1 = b
2 = b
so ur equation is : y = -1/2x + 2 <===
and u can check it with ur points....(2,1)
y = 2x - 3
1 = 2(2) - 3
1 = 4 - 3
1 = 1 (yep...it checks out)
14 of the machine that cost $150 was sold and 8 of the machine that cost $225 was sold.
To solve this problem, we would write a system of linear equations.
- Let x represent the machine that cost $150
- Let y represent the machine that cost $225
We can proceed to write our equations now.

From equation 1

<h3>The Value of Y</h3>
put equation (iii) into (ii)

<h3>The Value of X</h3>
Since we know the number of y, we can simply substitute it into equation (i) and solve.

From the calculations above, 14 of the machine that cost $150 was sold and 8 of the machine that cost $255 was sold.

-y=8x
Since slope intercept form is the form: y=mx + b
And <span>-y=8x is basically -y=mx
All you have to do is divide -y by -1 so that the negative of the variable goes away.
Final Answer: y= -8x</span>
