Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through the points is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 1-2)/(8-5)

= -1/3

The slope that is perpendicular is the negative reciprocal which is

- ( 1/(-1/3)

+ 3/1

The perpendicular slope is 3

What Is k 5(3-2k)=2k+39

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

k = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

5(3 - 2k) = 2k + 39 Distribute the 5 over the parentheses:

15 - 10k = 2k + 39

15 - 39 = 2k + 10k

12k = -24

k = -2.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

4x + 6 ≤ 18

Subtract 6 from both sides:

4x ≤ 12

Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 ≤ 12/4

x ≤ 3

Could someone help me understand how to solve this?

monitta

Answer:

Amount in 4% account: $550

Step-by-step explanation:

Use simple interest formula $I=P\cdot r\cdot t,$ where

I = interest

P = principal

r = rate (as decimal)

t = time.

4% account:

$P_1=x\\ \\r_1=0.04\\ \\t_1=1,$

then

$I_1=x\cdot 0.04\cdot 1=0.04x$

5% account:

$P_2=1,500-x\\ \\r_2=0.05\\ \\t_2=1,$

then

$I_2=(1,500-x)\cdot 0.05\cdot 1=0.05(1,500-x)$

You have earned $69.50 in total, so

$I_1+I_2=69.50\\ \\0.04x+0.05(1,500-x)=69.50\\ \\4x+5(1,500-x)=6,950\\ \\4x+7,500-5x=6,950\\ \\4x-5x=6,950-7,500\\ \\-x=-550\\ \\x=550\\ \\1,500-x=1,500-550=950$

Amount in 4% account: $550

Amount in 5% account: $950
