Let's find the slope for line t first.

We can use the given points 2,6 and 10,1 to find the slope using the slope formula.

$\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m$

1 - 6 / 10 - 2

-5/8

The slope is -5/8.

Because we know the slope of this line, we can find the slope of the next line instantly, as they are perpendicular.

When a slope is perpendicular to another, it is equal to the negative reciprocal.

Negative reciprocal of -5/8 = 8/5

<h3>The slope of line u is 8/5</h3>

F(x)=-2x+3 how do you find x if f(x) = 11

NeX [460]

Since we know f(x)=11 all we need to do is substitute and solve. so
11=-2x+3 subtract 3 from both sides
8=-2x divide both sides by -2
-4=x
sub back in to check

-2(-4)+3=8+3=11 looks good

Roland is purchasing pottery supplies for his pottery class. He buys a portable pottery wheel for $382 modeling clay is $12, and

tatuchka [14]

To find the total cost of Roland's purchases, you will add $382 plus $12 plus $16.14 together to find the total spent.

$410.14.

Next will be to calculate the new price based on the sales tax rate. To do this you will multiply the cost by 1.0825. This includes everything you paid and the sales tax

410.14 x 1.0825 = $443.98

Roland's total price was $443.98.
