Answer:

4x +y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative reciprocals of one another. When the equation of the line is written in standard form like this, the equation of the perpendicular line can be written by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Doing this much would give you ...

4x +y = (constant)

Note that we have chosen to make the equation read 4x+y, not -4x-y. The reason is that "standard form" requires the leading coefficient to be positive.

Now, you just need to make sure the constant is appropriate for the point you want the line to go through. So, it needs to be ...

4(2) +(-5) = constant = 3

The line of interest has equation ...

4x + y = 3

Westkost [7]

how much did they sale? you can not complete the answer without a sale amount. because you are asking that they made $1,200 plus 3% of sale, but you do not have the amount they sold so it just $1,200+3% of the sale , but no number for how much they sale, but for advice i would get the total amount they sale and divide by 100 then times it by 3 then try to fill in the void on how they went from 1,200 to 2500. You need to tell us the amount they sold and then the we can answer your question, but without you will not get your answer, so your question is incomplete.
