Y=-1/3x-6, for this line, the slope (m) is -1/3.
This is because the equation is in the slope intercept form: y = mx + b.
The perpendicular line to one with m = -1/3, is the negative reciprocal of m, we'll call it m2.
m2 = --3/1 = +3/1 = 3
Answer 6 hours
Reason
7x + 9.50 = 55
-9.50. -9.50 subtract from both sides
_____________
7x = 45.50
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x
X = 6.5
So he can rent for 6 hours (the .5 would be charged as a full hour per the problem)
