Answer:

The system of equation to find the length of service call is \left \{ {{y=50 +36x} \atop {y =35 +39x}} \right..

The length of  service call for which both businesses charge the same amount is 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the 'x' represents number of hours of labor.

Also Let the 'y' represent the Total charge.

For Business A:

Fixed charge = $50

Charge of labor for each hour = $36

Amount of total charge is the sum of fixed charge and charge of labor for each hour multiplied number of hours of labor

framing in equation form, we get;

y=50 +36x \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

For Business B:

Fixed charge = $35

Charge of labor for each hour = $39

Amount of total charge is the sum of fixed charge and charge of labor for each hour multiplied number of hours of labor

framing in equation form, we get;

y =35 +39x \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Hence The system of equation to find the length of service call is \left \{ {{y=50 +36x} \atop {y =35 +39x}} \right..

Now to find the length of  service call for which both businesses charge the same amount, we will make both the equation equal we get;

50+36x=35+39x

Now we solve the equation,

Combining the like terms, we get;

50-35=39x-36x\\\\15=3x

Dividing both side by '3' using division property, we get;

\frac{15}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}\\\\5=x

Hence The length of  service call for which both businesses charge the same amount is 5 hours.

Consider the graph of the line y = x – 4 and the point (−4, 2).
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

a. The slope  of a line parallel to the given line is 1

b. A point on the line parallel to the given line, passing through (−4, 2), is  (1,7)

c. The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is -1

d. A point on the line perpendicular to the given line, passing through (−4, 2), is (3,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-intercept form  is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

a. For the line y = x - 4

You can identify that:

m=1

 By definition, two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. Then, the  slope of a line parallel to the given line is:

m=1

b. The equation of the line in Point-slope form is:

y -y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Where m is the slope and (x_1,y_1)  is a point of the line.

Given the point (-4,2), substitute this point and the slope of the line into the equation:

 y -2 = (x +4)

Give a value to "x", substitute it into this equation and solve for "y":

For x=1 :

y -2 = (1 +4)

y= 5+2

y= 7

Then, you get the point (1,7)

c. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, then the  slope of a line perpendicular to the given line is:

m=-\frac{1}{1}\\\\m=-1

d. Given the point (-4,2), substitute this point and the slope of the line into the equation:

 y -2 = -1(x +4)

 y -2 = -(x +4)

Give a value to "x", substitute it into this equation and solve for "y":

For x=3 :

y -2 = -(3 +4)

y= -7+2

y= -5

Then, you get the point (3,-5)
