Answer: Total cost of the  monthly passes is 5.1x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of each monthly pass = x

Number of months = 6

Total cost = 6 ×x = 6x

Rate of discount = 15%

So, total cost of the monthly passes with the discount is given by

6x\times \dfrac{100-15}{100}\\\\=6x\times \dfrac{85}{100}\\\\=6x\times 0.85\\\\=5.1x

Hence, total cost of the  monthly passes is 5.1x.

15% off means 85% on so I would use .85x · 6 = total monthly cost  to represent this problem.  The dot represents times (I did not want to confuse things by using x)

Other ways to express this:

6 x .85x
6(.85x)
.85x (6)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point  ( -1 , -2 )  and is perpendicular to the l
mamaluj [8]

The equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point  ( -1 , -2 )  and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5 is y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c ----- eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Given that the line that passes through the point  ( -1 , -2 )  and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

Given line is perpendicular to  − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

− 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

-3y = 4x - 5

3y = -4x + 5

y = \frac{-4x}{3} + \frac{5}{3}

On comparing the above equation with eqn 1, we get,

m = \frac{-4}{3}

We know that product of slope of a line and slope of line perpendicular to it is -1

\frac{-4}{3} \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to it}= -1\\\\\text{ slope of line perpendicular to it} = \frac{3}{4}

Given point is (-1, -2)

Now we have to find the equation of line passing through (-1, -2) with slope m = \frac{3}{4}

Substitute (x, y) = (-1, -2) and m = 3/4 in eqn 1

-2 = \frac{3}{4}(-1) + c\\\\-2 = \frac{-3}{4} + c\\\\c = - 2 + \frac{3}{4}\\\\c = \frac{-5}{4}

\text{ substitute } c = \frac{-5}{4} \text{ and } m = \frac{3}{4} \text{ in eqn 1}

y = \frac{3}{4} \times x + \frac{-5}{4}\\\\y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}

Thus the required equation of line is found

Write equation for the line with a slope "undefined" and has the same x-intercept as x−y−1=0
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines with undefined slopes are perfectly vertical, of the form "x = ". A line with "the same x-intercept" as the given line that has an undefined slope will be the line that we want. I know that sounds confusing; we'll work through it then I'll explain it better. In order to find the x-intercep of the given line, solving it for y will make it a bit easier to "see". Therefore,

-y = -x + 1 and

y = x - 1. The x-intercept exists when y = 0, so setting y equal to 0 and solving for x:

0 = x - 1 and

1 = x. That's the x-intercept. It's also the line that we want that has an undefined slope, because "x = " lines are lines vertical lines and vertical lines have undefined slopes.

x = 1 is the line you want.

Simplify this expression, you are y years old. Your sister is 3 years older than you. Your uncle is 4 times older than your sist
uysha [10]

Answer:The simplified expression that represents the uncle's age is

4y + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent your age.

Your sister is 3 years older than you. This means that your sister's age is y + 3

Your uncle is 4 times older than your sister. It means that the age of your uncle would be

4(y + 3)

The simplified expression that represents your uncle's age would be

4y + 12
