The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x, 3/5. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(3/5) = -5/3.
The point-slope form of the equation for a line of slope m through point (h, k) can be written ...
... y = m(x -h) +k
For your point and the slope found above, this becomes
... y = (-5/3)(x -15) -5
When x=0, this is
... y = (-5/3)(-15) -5 = 20
The y-intercept is 20.
42 + 6 divided by 2 equals 24
Answer:
Brownies made the most money
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c = cookies
b = brownies
We sold 51 items so c+b = 51
Cookies are .75 and brownies are 1.25
.75c + 1.25 b = 53.25
We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns
c = 51-b
Substituting into the second equation
.75(51-b) + 1.25b = 53.25
Distribute
38.25-.75b +1.25b = 53.25
Combine like terms
38.25+.5b = 53.25
Subtract 38.25 from each side
38.25 +.5b -38.25 = 53.25 -38.25
.5b =15
Divide each side by .5
.5b/.5 = 15/.5
b = 30
Now find c
c =51-b
c = 51-30
c = 21
They sold 30 brownies and 21 cookies
30 brownies * 1.25 =37.50
21 cookies *.75 = 15.75
Brownies made the most money
