Answer:
Carlos is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a line through the origin has a slope of
. Carlos thinks the slope of a perpendicular line at the origin will be 3.
We know that the slope of a perpendicular line to a given line is always negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
The slope of the perpendicular line at the origin will be negative reciprocal of
.
Let us find negative reciprocal of
as:

Since the slope of a perpendicular line at the origin is
, therefore, Carlos is incorrect.
Answer: a=3 & b=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
At break-even C = R so we have:-
20n + 134,000 = 160n
140n = 134,000
answer = 134,000 / 140 = 957
If Claudia jumped 10,000 ft. to sea level, then the answer would be -10,000. The reason is if she is going down then it would be negative.
