Answer:You're selling tickets to a school play priced at $5 for students, $10 for parents, and $20 for general admission. The total sales are $2,500, you sell twice as many parent tickets as student tickets, and you selll 10 more students tickets than general admission. How many of each ticket did you sell?
Step-by-step explanation:
The perpendicular line will have an equation of y=3/4x-3/4
To find this, we first have to solve our equation for slope intercept form.
8x + 6y = -5 ----> subtract 8x
6y = -8x + -5 ----> divide by 6
y = -4/3x - 5/6.
So we know the slope of this equation to be -4/3. Since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes, we know we can simply flip the fraction and make it a negative to get the new slope of 3/4. Since B is the only option with that slope, we know it to be the correct answer.
