The slope of a line perpendicular to another line has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of that line or:

m1 = -1/m2

First, we convert the given equation into slope-intercept form of a line: y = mx + b

8x + 15y = 12

15y = -8x + 12

y = (-8/15) x + 0.8

m1 = -8 / 15

 

Therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is:

m2 = 15 / 8

 

Since the perpendicular line crosses the point (11, 17), therefore using the slope formula:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

15 / 8 = (y2 – 17) / (x2 – 11)

1.875 (x2 – 11) = y2 – 17

1.875 x2 – 20.625 = y2 – 17

y2 = 1.875 x2 – 3.625

y = (15/8) x – 3.625

multiplying both sides by 8:

8y = 15x – 29

rewriting in standard form:

A motel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $26 per day. If 26 rooms were rented one day for a total of $804,
lubasha [3.4K]

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
