Answer: 26

Step-by-step explanation:

cut 3 and 15

cut 5/10 which was 15/10

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to y=-12x+2 going through (0,-1)

DanielleElmas [232]

$\rule{50}{1}\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Question:-}}}\rule{50}{1}$

<em>Write the equation of a line perpendicular to y=-12x+2 going </em>

<em> through (0, -1)</em>

<em />

<em> </em> $\rule{50}{1}\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}\rule{50}{1}$

First, let's take a look at our provided information:-

A line $\text{y=-12x+2}$
A point (0, -1)
The line $\text{y=-12x+2}$ is perpendicular to the line that goes through (0, -1)

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other.

So we take the slope of the given line, which is -12, change its sign from minus to plus:-

$\Large\textit{12}$

And now, We flip the number over:-

$\Large\text{$\displaystyle\frac{1}{12}$}$

Now that we've found the slope of the line, let's find its equation.

The first step is to write it in point-slope form as follows:-

$\longmapsto\sf{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}$

Replace letters with numbers,

$\longmapsto\sf{y-(-1)=\displaystyle\frac{1}{12}(x-0)}$

On simplification,

$\longmapsto\sf{y+1=\displaystyle\frac{1}{12} (x-0)}$

On further simplification,

$\longmapsto\sf{y+1=\displaystyle\frac{1}{12} x}$

Subtracting 1 on both sides,

$\longmapsto\sf{y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{12} x-1}$

A builder buys bricks at the rate of $4.50 per brick for the first 10, $3.50 per brick for the next 10, and $2.50 for any additi

iogann1982 [59]

If the first 10 bricks come out at $ 4.5, I would be spending $ 45. The other 10 bricks come out at $ 3.5 so he would be spending $ 35. Therefore, he has $ 20 available to buy bricks at $ 2.5, which would be buying 8 additional bricks. Thus, in total, with $ 100, 28 bricks were purchased.
