Answer:
m + m = 36
18 + 18 = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost for plumber number 1 expressed as a function of x is
c1(x)=45x+90
That is, the charge per hour times the number of hours plus the fixed charge for a visit.
Using the same pattern, write the function for the second plumber. Then set the two functions equal to each other and solve for
This is going to be an long answer, so I'm putting the answer first. y=3x-7
First, you have to find the equation of the line given. You can use point slope form for that. You can see that the slope is -1/3, and it goes through (2,2). So, the equation would be
y-2=-1/3(x-2)
Which simplifies to
y=-1/3x+8/3
Now, we can get on to finding the actual answer. The slope of a line perpendicular would be the negative reciprocal of the original slope. That just means you flip it and multiply it by -1. So, the slope of the new line is 3. Now you can use point slope form again and make an equation, which is
y+1=3(x-2)
Which simplifies to
y=3x-7
Please don't ask me why the slope is the negative reciprocal, or how they came up with the formula for the point slope form. I DON'T KNOW. If you want to know so bad you would give up chick-fil-A for the rest of your life, there's always google.
