Answer:

\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{5}{9}x+\dfrac{19}{9}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\l\ \parallel\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\===================================\\\\\text{We have the equation i the standard form.}\\\text{ Convert it to the slope-intercept form}\ y=mx+b:\\\\5x+9y=-9\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\9y=-5x-9\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\\\y=-\dfrac{5}{9}x-1\to m_1=-\dfrac{5}{9}\\\\m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-\frac{5}{9}}=\dfrac{9}{5}

\text{We have the equation:}\\\\y=\dfrac{5}{9}x+b\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point (-2, 1) to the equation:}\\\\1=\dfrac{5}{9}(-2)+b\\\\1=-\dfrac{10}{9}+b\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{10}{5}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\dfrac{19}{9}=b\to b=\dfrac{19}{9}

Answer:

2. $1,100 in clothing sales gives Rachel a $260 paycheck

3 $.2,200 in clothing sales gives Rachel a $370 paycheck

5. $10,800 in clothing sales gives Rachel a 1,230 paycheck

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question :

Rachel works for a clothing store. She is $150 paid every week plus a 10% commission on any clothes that she sells. Which of the following is true in regards to Rachel's weekly paycheck? Chose three correct answers.

1. $100 in clothing sales gives Rachel a $250 paycheck

2. $1,100 in clothing sales gives Rachel a $260 paycheck

3 $.2,200 in clothing sales gives Rachel a $370 paycheck

4. $ 4,200 in clothing sales gives Rachel a $420 paycheck

5. $10,800 in clothing sales gives Rachel a 1,230 paycheck

6. $ 16,000 in clothing sales gives Rachel a 1,450 paycheck

The equation representing Rachel's paycheck = amount she earns every month + commission

If she makes  $100 in clothing sales, her paycheck = $150 + (0.1 x 100) = $160

If she makes  $1100 in clothing sales, her paycheck = $150 + (0.1 x 1100) = $260

If she makes  $2200 in clothing sales, her paycheck = $150 + (0.1 x 2200) = $370

If she makes  $4200 in clothing sales, her paycheck = $150 + (0.1 x 4200) = $570

If she makes  $10800 in clothing sales, her paycheck = $150 + (0.1 x 10800) = $1230

If she makes  $16000 in clothing sales, her paycheck = $150 + (0.1 x 16000) = $1750

thus the correct options are 2,3,5
