Answer:
The equation would be y = -1/3x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to finding this equation needs to be solving the first equation for y so that we can find the slope.
-3x + y = 1
y = 3x + 1
Now that we have the slope of 3, we know the slope of a perpendicular line would be -1/3. This is because perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. We can then use this and the point to solve in point-slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = -1/3(x - 6)
y - 2 = -1/3x + 2
y = -1/3x + 4

Answer:
24 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The total fare is the sum of the pickup fee and the mileage charge. For xx miles, the mileage charge will be 1.75xx, so the total is ...
1.75xx +2.90 = 44.90 . . . equation for xx
1.75xx = 42.00 . . . . . subtract 2.90
xx = 24 . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.75
The number of miles in Nicole's taxi ride was 24.
I think that's what you mean
