Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line Y=-1/3x+1, passing through the point (2,7)?

1 answer:

5 0

Y= 3X + 1. Perpendicular means you would change the slope by flipping it and changing the sign. So the slope then becomes 3. Then you use your points to find the y-intercept by filling in the variables. 7=3(2) + B. 7=6 + B. Then subtract 6 from both sides. B=1. Then you just put your problem back into slope intercept form with your new slope and y-intercept. Y=3x + 1.

A pencil and a ruler cost $1.50 together. The ruler costs $1.00 more than the pencil. How much does the pencil cost?

Vlad1618 [11]

So we want to know how much does the pencil costs if the ruler costs 1$ more than the pencil and together they cost 1.5$. So lets start with converting dollars into cents. Lets turn this into an equation. Ruler is x and the pencil is y. So together ruler and pencil cost 150cents or: x+y=150 cents. The ruler costs 100 cents more than the pencil, or: (x+100 cents ) + y = 150 cents. So we see that we need to put the values of x=25 cents and y=25 cents to get the ruler to cost 125 cents which is 100 cents or 1$ more than the pencil. So the pencil costs 25 cents.
