First off, let's keep in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm so what's the slope of y = 2x + 5?

well, notice, that equation is in slope-intercept form, thus   \bf y=\stackrel{slope}{2}x+5.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}
{2\implies \stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{2}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}}

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/2 and runs through 1,4.

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad \qquad \qquad 
slope =  m\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-4=-\cfrac{1}{2}(x-1)

Miguel collected aluminum cans for recycling. He collected a total of 150 cans. If 58% of the cans he collected were soda cans h
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Given:

• Total number of cans collected = 150

,

• Percent of cans that were soda = 58%

Let's find the number of other cans he collected.

To find the number of other cans, since the percent of soda is 58%, let's find the pecent of other cans.

Percent of other cans = 100% - 58% = 42%

The percent of other cans collected was 42%.

Now, to find the number of other cans collected, let's find 42% of the total number of cans collected 150.

We have:

42\text{ \% }\ast150\Longrightarrow0.42\times150=63

Therefore, the number of other cans collected is 63 cans.

ANSWER:

63 cans
