Answer: y = 3/2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation: For a perpendicular line, take the reciprocal of "m" and reverse the sign.

- 2/3 becomes +3/2

Then substitute the y and x values of the given coordinate into the equation and solve for "b"

y = mx + b

-2 = 3/2(-2) + b

-2 = -3 + b

-2 +3 = b

+1 = b Substitute for b in y = (3/2)x + 1

This expression is correct. It shows the price John pays for the jeans on the left side of the + symbol (30n), and the amount of tax he has to pay on the right side of the symbol (0.08(30n)).

Hope this helps!

$600 invested with compound interest at a rate of 4% per year for 10 years formula:M= P(1+i)^n

makkiz [27]

Answer: M = 2100$

Explanation:

M = P(1 + I)^n

P = 600$, I = 4% = 0.04, n = 10

=> M = 600(1 + 0.04)^10
M = 600(1.04)^10
M = 600(3.5)
M = 2100$

2.54 cm / 1 in. = 100 cm / x in. show the work

Kitty [74]

2.45 cm= 1 in. so 100 cm must equal 39.37 in. because you already know 2.45 cm equals 1 inch and 1 metre equals 100 cm and 1 metre is equal to 39.37.
