Answer:

A.) -1/5 i hope this helps! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = 5x - 2

the perpindicular line to y = 5x - 2

you have to flip the 5x to be a negative and flip it to 1 over 5

y = -1/5x - 2 is perpendicular to the line y = 5x - 2

It’s an equilateral triangle so all of the triangle angles add up to 180 and since it’s equilateral each angle is 60 degrees. Setting 8y-4=60, 8y=64, thus y=8 degrees.

If you received a 5% raise and your final paycheck was 100(which includes your 5% raise), how much was your original paycheck?

Schach [20]

so you were earning say "x", so "x" is the 100% of your paycheck.

but you're da bomb and so you got a raise of 5%, so the new amount of your paycheck is 100% + 5%, so is 105% really, and we happen to know that is $100.

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \$&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 100&105\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{100}{x}=\cfrac{105}{100}\implies 10000=105x \\\\\\ \cfrac{10000}{105}=x\implies 95.238\approx x$
