Given parameters:

Equation of the line is y = -\frac{1}{2} x + 8

Unknown:

Slope of line parallel to this line = ?

Slope of line perpendicular = ?

Solution:

A line parallel to this line will have the same slope with it.

A line perpendicular will have the negative inverse of this slope;

Slope of line  = - \frac{1}{2}

Slope of line parallel to this line = -\frac{1}{2}

Slope of line perpendicular = negative inverse = -( -(\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} }))   = 2

So, the slope of line parallel to this line is - 1/2 and that perpendicular is 2

The total cost of a sweater and a pair of pants was $89.47. If the price of the sweater was $8.53 less than the pair of pants, w
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Let S = price of sweater

Let P = price of pants

S + P = 89.47 because that was the total spent

S = P - 8.53   because the sweater is 8.53 less than pants

Substitute P-8.53 in place of S in the

1st equation and solve for P

P - 8.53 + P = 89.47

2P - 8.53 = 89.47     add 8.53 to both sides

2P = 89.47 + 8.53

2P = 98.00  divide both sides by 2

P = 98.00/2

P = $49.00

S = P - 8.53

S = 49.00-8.53

S = $40.47

A sweater costs $40.47 and the pants cost $49.00
