keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmmm what's the slope of that line above anyway,

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{(-1)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{1}}}\implies \cfrac{2+1}{3}\implies 1 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{\underline{1}\implies \cfrac{\underline{1}}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{\underline{1}}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{\underline{1}}\implies -1}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1 and runs through (2,5)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{5}=\stackrel{m}{-1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \\\\\\ y-5=-x+2\implies y=-x+7

A shopper’s discount club charges a monthly fee of $15 and sells gasoline for $2.05 per gallon. The gas station across the stree
NeX [460]

Answer:

15 + 2.05 x = 2.35 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of gallons you would have to buy for the two places to be the same.

At the club, there is a monthly fee of $15 that is charged once in a month. They also charge $2.05 per gallon, which is charged every gallon of gas you buy.

We can write an expression: 15 + 2.05 x

At the gas station, they charge $2.35 per gallon with no other fees.

We can also write an expression: 2.35 x

For the prices to be the same, we have 15 + 2.05 x = 2.35 x

If we were to solve, then we have:

(2.35 - 2.05) x = 15

x = 15 / 0.3 = 50 gallons
