Solving for y, we can start by expanding to get y-3=5x-20. Next, we can add 3 to both sides (to separate y), resulting in y=5x-17. To find the slope in the equation y=mx+b, you simply find what you multiply x by, which is 5 in this case. To find a perpendicular slope, you start by making the slope (5 in this case) negative. Next, we find the reciprocal of the number. Since -5 can be written as -5/1, the reciprocal and therefore perpendicular slope is -1/5
y=13
Step-by-step explanation:
y=3x-5
y=3(6)-5
y=18-5
y=13
Answer: 45 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation to solve this problem is:
$165 = 1.4x + 102
The variable x represents the number of kilometers he travels.
To solve the equation:
Subtract 102 from each side-
63 = 1.4x
Next divide each side by 1.4-
45 = x
Teague needs to run 45 kilometers in order to raise $165.
