The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x, 3/5. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(3/5) = -5/3.
The point-slope form of the equation for a line of slope m through point (h, k) can be written ...
... y = m(x -h) +k
For your point and the slope found above, this becomes
... y = (-5/3)(x -15) -5
When x=0, this is
... y = (-5/3)(-15) -5 = 20
The y-intercept is 20.
Answer:
The 2nd one/Green
Step-by-step explanation:
A plane figure with five straight sides and five angles.
Answer:
the number is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
14-8=6
good luck!
First, add 2 to both sides. You should have 3/2x=21. Multiply both sides by 2 which gives you 3x= 42. Divide by 3 and you have x=14
17. On average, Nestor works 7.5 hours of overtime in 4 weeks, so works an average of 7.5/4 = 1.875 overtime hours per week.
On average, each week Nestor gets paid for 7.5×5 + 2×1.875 = 41.25 hours, so is paid*
... (41.25 h)×($7.42/h) = $306.075
Each week Rita gets paid for 8×5 + 1.5×3 = 44.5 hours, so is paid
... (44.5 h)×($7.64/h) = $339.98
Their combined earning for a week are $306.075 + 339.98 = $646.055, so over a period of 12 weeks, they are paid a total of
... (12 weeks)×($646.055/week) = $7,752.66
18. Assuming Robin is paid time and a half for overtime, she was paid for
... 40 + 1.5×6 = 49 . . . hours
Then her hourly pay was ($392/week)/(49 hours/week) = $8.00 per hour
___
* The half-cent that shows up in Nestor's average weekly pay does not actually show up in Nestor's paycheck. Here, it is an artifact of dividing his monthly hour total by 4 to get a weekly average. Nestor's total pay for any given week is whole number of cents.
