We need to swap the numerator and denominator, and change the sign of one of them to get a perpendicular slope.5x + 10y = c. Now subtract the point.
5(-4) + 10(7) = -20 + 70 = 50 = c 
5x + 10y = 50 is an equation. If we want, we can divide everything by 5 to get x + 2y = 10.The more usual way to do these is put the equation in slope-intercept form by solving for y. 10x-5y=8 -5y = -10x + 8 y = 2x - 8/5 Now you have the slope of the original line, 2. Any line perpendicular to this one must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this one, -1/2 So this new line must be y = -1/2 x + c .Now subtract in point to solve for c.
7 = (-1/2)(-4) + c 7 = 2+c 
5 = c 
y = -1/2 x + 5 
The first time we solved we got this. 
x + 2y = 10 but, if we divide everything by 2, we get 1/2 x + y = 5 So... subtract 1/2 x from both sides and you have identical equations. So the two are equivalent. The answer is y = -1/2 x + 5 
Hope this helped!

What effect does "a" have on the parent function y=1/x
Dvinal [7]
Y=1/x is a reciprocal function & its shape is a special hyperbola with one branch located in the 1st Quadrant and the second in the 3dr Quadrant and both are symmetric about the origin O.
If a> 1 → y=a/x  and the 2 branches are equally stretched upward & downward
about the center O.
If  0 < a < 1→y =a/x, the 2 branches are equally stretched downward and upward about the center O.
If a<0, then the 2 legs are in the 2nd and 4th Quadrant respectively

If h(x) is the inverse of f(x), what is the value of h(f(x))?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Hello,

f(x) has as inverse f^(-1)(x)
and (fof^(-1))(x)=(f^(-1)of)(x)= x (the neutral function)
so h(f(x))=x

4 hours for 18

7 hours for 25.50

Difference in hours: 7-4 = 3

Difference in cost: 25.50 - 18 = 7.50

7.50 / 3 = 2.50

A. They charge 2.50 per hour.

B. 2.50 x 4 = 10

18 - 10 = 8

The flat fee is 8 dollars

C. 8 + (2 x 2.50) = 13 dollars
