Answer:

y= -1*x +12

Step-by-step explanation:

x=4 is a function that always has the value 4 for the x-axis, no matter y variable, this a vertical function.

Perpendicular Lines are those with the following condition:

y=a*x+b (1)

y=c*x+d (2)

Where a and c are the respective slope

If These two lines are perpendicular, then

a=- 1/c

Using those principles we have that the slope for our needed line has to be -1, since the slope for the first line is 1 (the coefficient of x is 1, in the line x=4)

Lets use the given point (5,7) in the equation (2)

7=-1 * 5 + d

resulting d=12

so, our equation for the line is y= -1*x +12

Emily's piggy bank contains twice as many dimes as nickels. It contains two more quarters than nickels. Emily calculates that if
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Emily has 10 nickels, 20 dimes and 12 quarters in her piggy bank

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of dimes in Emily's piggy bank = 2 × The number of nickels

The number of quarters in it = 2 + The number of nickels

Whereby;

The number of quarters = The number nickels

The number of dimes = The number of quarters

The number of nickels = The number of dimes

The total amount = Current amount - $150

Let 'x' represent the number of dimes, let 'y' represent the number nickels, and let 'z' represent the number quarters in Emily's piggy bank, we have;

x = 2 × y

z = 2 + y

The total amount in the piggy bank is therefore;

Total = C = x×0.1  + y×0.05 + z×0.25 = 2·y×0.1 + y × 0.05 + (2 + y) × 0.25 = 0.5·y + 0.5

C = 0.5·y + 0.5

With the second condition, we have;

z = y

x = z

y = x

We get

x × 0.1 + y × 0.05 + z × 0.25 = y ×0.1 + y×0.05 + y×0.25 = 0.4·y = C - 1.5

∴ C = 0.4·y + 1.5

Which gives;

0.5·y + 0.5 = 0.4·y + 1.5

0.1·y = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1

y = 1/0.1 = 10

y = 10

Therefore;

x = 2×y = 2 × 10 = 20

z = 2 + y = 2 + 10 = 12

Therefore;

The number number of nickels in her piggy bank, y = 10

The number of dimes in her piggy bank, x = 20

The number of quarters in her piggy bank, z = 12
