To answer this, we will need to know:

• The slope of the equation we are trying to get
• The point it passes through using the 

First, we will need to find the slope of this equation. To find this, we must simplify the equation 3x+5y=38 into y=mx+b form. Lets do it!

3x+5y=38
= 5y = -3x+38 (Subtract 3x from both sides)
= y= -\frac{3}{5}x+ \frac{38}{5} (Divide both sides by 5) 

The slope of a line perpendicular would have to multiply with the equation we just changed to equal -1. In other words, it would have to equal the negative reciprocal.

The negative reciprocal of the line given is \frac{5}{3}. 

Now that we know the slope, we have to find out the rest of the equation using the slope formula, which is:

\frac{y-y _{1} }{x- x_{1} }=m

Substituting values, we find that:

\frac{y-4}{x-6}= \frac{5}{3}

By simplifying this equation to slope-intercept form (By cross-multiplying then simplifying), we then get that: 

y= \frac{5}{3}x-6 , which is our final answer.

Thank you, and I wish you luck.

(6,4); 3x + 5y =38 \ subtract \ 3x \ from \ each \ side \\ \\ 5y = -3x + 8 \ divide \ each \term \ by \ 5 \\ \\ y = -\frac{3} {5}x + \frac{38}{5}\\ \\ The \ slope \ is :m _{1} = - \frac{3}{5} \\ \\ If \ m_{1} \ and \ m _{2} \ are \ the \ gradients \ of \ two \ perpendicular \\ \\ lines \ we \ have \ m _{1}*m _{2} = -1

m _{1} \cdot m _{2} = -1 \\ \\ -\frac{3}{5} \cdot m_{2}=-1 \ \ / \cdot (-\frac{5}{3}) \\ \\ m_{2}=\frac{5}{3}

Now \ your \ equation \ of \ line \ passing \ through \ (6,4) would \ be: \\ \\ y=m_{2}x+b \\ \\4=\frac{5}{\not3^1} \cdot \not 6^2 + b

4=5 \cdot 2+b\\ \\4=10+b \\ \\b=4-10\\ \\b=-6 \\ \\ y = \frac{5}{3}x -6

Otrada [13]

Answer:9400 backpacks

\geqStep-by-step explanation

since the number of packs to be sold in a  is represented by x,

selling price for 1 week = 35x

cost price for 1 week = 15x

profit = 35x-15x = 20x

additional cost of production = 11,000

this implies that 20x - 11,000 \geq 7800

20x - 11,000 \geq 7,800

20x \geq 7800+ 11000

20x \geq 18,800

x \geq 18800/2

x \geq 9,400

at least 9,400 packs have to be sold each week to make a profit of $7800

What are the factors in the expression 4(5+x)
Daniel [21]
The factors are the parts that are being multiplied together.

4 and (5+x) are the two that are being multiplied and also the expression you get when you factor the distributed expression.

So the factors of 4(5+x) are:

4 and (5+x)

Please help me asap its the end of the year and i need to get this in
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

it would be 200 units

Step-by-step explanation:

if the length is twice the width and the perimeter only being 60 units, you would have 20 as your length and 10 as your width (20+20+10+10=60). Then if you multiply 20 and 10 you get 200
