Answer:

4y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = 8x - 6

Divide through by 2:-

y = 4x -3   so the slope of this line  = 4

Slope of the line perpendicular to this  = -1/4

So using the point/slope form of an equation of a line and the point (-3,3) we have:-

y  - 3 =  -1/4(x - -3)

y = -1/4x - 3/4 + 3

y = -1/4 x + 9/4    Multiply through by 4:-

4y = -x + 9

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have <u>negative reciprocal</u> slopes, so hmmm wait a second, what is the  slope of 2y=8x−6. anyway?


\bf 2y=8x-6\implies y=\cfrac{8x-6}{2}\implies y=\cfrac{8x}{2}-\cfrac{6}{2}\\\\\\y=\stackrel{\downarrow }{4}x-3\impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll}\cline{1-1}slope-intercept~form\\\cline{1-1}\\y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}}\\\\\cline{1-1}\end{array}


\bf ~\dotfill\\\\\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}}{\stackrel{slope}{4\implies \cfrac{4}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{4}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{4}}}


so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/4 and runs through (-3, 3).


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})~\hspace{10em}slope = m\implies -\cfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\ \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-3=-\cfrac{1}{4}[x-(-3)]\implies y-3=-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+3)\\\\\\y-3=-\cfrac{1}{4}x-\cfrac{3}{4}\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{4}x-\cfrac{3}{4}+3\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{9}{4}


now, that equation is fine, is in <u>slope-intercept form</u>, and we can do away with the denominators by simply multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case , 4, and put the equation in <u>standard form</u> instead.


standard form for a linear equation means

- all coefficients must be integers

- only the constant on the right-hand-side

- "x" must not have a negative coefficient


\bf 4(y)=4\left( -\cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{9}{4} \right)\implies 4y=-x+9\implies x+4y=9

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

88 cans were sold, the most important variable is how much you started with and how much you ended with

Step-by-step explanation:

88 cans were sold because 98-10=88, and the most important variable is how much you started and ended with because the question asks how much were sold and you can't know that without knowing the start amount and end amount which is the 2 variables I used to get 88 in the equation (98-10)

The Equation is 98-10=88
