What is the equation of the line that passes through (-9,12) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=1/3x 6?

Y = 1/3x ? 6....slope here is 1/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -3 (see how I flipped 1/3 and changed the sign)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(-9,12)...x = -9 and y = 12
now we sub and find b, the y int
12 = -3(-9) + b
12 = 27 + b
12 - 27 = b
-15 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -3x - 15

At an airport, it cost 7 to park for one hour and 5 per hour for each additional hour.Let x represent the number hours parked.wr
kompoz [17]
The cost of parking is an initial cost plus an hourly cost.
The first hour costs $7.
You need a function for the cost of more than 1 hour,
meaning 2, 3, 4, etc. hours.
Each hour after the first hour costs $5.

1 hour: $7
2 hours: $7 + $5                  = 7 + 5 * 1          = 12
3 hours: $7 + $5 + $5          = 7 + 5 * 2          = 17
4 hours: $7 + $5 + $5 + $5  = 7 + 5 * 3          = 22

Notice the pattern above in the middle column.
The number of $5 charges you add is one less than the number of hours.
For 2 hours, you only add one $5 charge.
For 3 hours, you add two $5 charges.

Since the number of hours is x, according to the problem, 1 hour less than the number of hours is x - 1.

The fixed charge is the $7 for the first hour.
Each additional hour is $5, so you multiply 1 less than the number of hours,
x - 1, by 5 and add to 7.

C(x) = 7 + 5(x - 1)

This can be left as it is, or it can be simplified as

C(x) = 7 + 5x - 5

C(x) = 5x + 2

Answer: C(x) = 5x + 2

Check:
For 2 hours: C(2) = 5(2) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
For 3 hours: C(3) = 5(3) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
For 4 hours: C(3) = 5(4) + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
Notice that the totals for 2, 3, 4 hours here
are the same as the right column in the table above.

One angle is 25 less than four times it's supplement. What is the measure of both angles?
Elenna [48]
Let the first angle be x and the second be y.

Supplementary angles add up to 180, so:
x + y = 180

Also, as given in the statement:
x = 4y - 25

Substituting into the first equation:
4y - 25 + y = 180
5y = 205
y = 41

x = 4(41) - 25
x = 139

One angle is 139° and the other is 41°.

The distance on the number line from -10 to -2 equals 5x – 12. What is the value of x?
Troyanec [42]

It would be: - 2 - (-10) = 5x - 12

= -2 + 10 = 5x - 12

= 8 + 12 = 5x

= x = 20 / 5

= x = 4
