Answer:
Your answer is option C … (-5, -1, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
Answer: 16 double rooms and 10 single rooms were rented.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of double rooms that were rented.
Let y represent the number of single rooms that were rented.
The total number of rooms rented in a day is 26. It means that
x + y = 26
A motel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $26 per day. If all the rooms that were rented for one day cost a total of $804, it means that
34x + 26y = 804 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes
34(26 - y) + 26y = 804
884 - 34y + 26y = 804
- 34y + 26y = 804 - 884
- 8y = - 80
y = - 80/ - 8 = 10
x = 26 - y = 26 - 10
x = 16
