Answer:

B. x−2y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes

The given line is

y = -2x + 8

Perpendicular line to this must have a slope of

- 1/(-2) = 1/2

Option A

2x - y = 12
y = 2x - 12
Slope is 2
No

Option B

x - 2y = 6
2y = x - 6
y = 1/2x - 3

Slope is 1/2
Yes

Option C

x + 2y = 8
2y = - x + 8
y = -1/2x + 4
Slope is -1/2
No

Option D

2x + y = 4
y = -2x + 4
Slope is -2
No

Answer:

no solutions
a finite number of solutions
an infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is very general, including linear and non-linear equations of any number and/or degree. In the general case you're asking about, there will be ...

no solutions -- no values of the variables satisfy all equations
a finite number of solutions -- all equations are satisfied for some finite set of variable values
an infinite number of solutions -- equations are dependent (or periodic*) so the set of solutions is an infinite set

For 2 linear equations in 2 unknowns, there will be 0, 1, or infinite solutions.

_____

* Aperiodic equations may also have an infinite number of solutions. 1/sin(x)=0 is an example.

Arrange these lunch buyers from greatest to least assuming they buy lunch 5 days per week: Alice spends $3 per day, Betty spends

ValentinkaMS [17]

Alice spends $3 per day, so for in a week and upto 5 weeks, Alice spend =$3*5*5 = $75

Betty spends $ 25 every 2 weeks, so for 5 weeks , she spends= 25+25+12.5

= $62.5

Cindy spends $ 75 per month, and on an average there are less then 5 weeks in a month . SO for 5 week, it must be greater than $75 .

So the order is
