Answer:

y - 3 = (5/3)(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual first step is to determine the slope of the given line.

In this case the slope is -3/5.

A line perpendicular to this given line would have a slope of 5/3, which is the negative reciprocal of -3/5.

This new line goes thru (6, 3) and has a slope of 5/3. Thus, the equation of the line in point-slope form is

y - 3 = (5/3)(x - 6)

Double check that you have copied the problem down correctly. The slope of the line represented by -3x - 5y = 17 is neither 2 nor -2; it is -3/5, and so the slope of a line perpendicular to -3x - 5y = 17 is +5/3.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

$20.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Original cost = $9.57

Markup= 95%

Let us find the new cost of the basket

=95/100*9.57

=0.95*9.57

=$9.0915

Hence the cost of the basket is

= 9.57+9.0915

=18.66

Also, the sales tax is 8%

=8/100*18.66

=0.08*18.66

=1.4928

Therefore, the total amount to be paid is

=18.66+1.4928

=$20.15
