Answer:

y = 1/4 x - 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 2y = -8 (rewrite in y = mx + b form)

2y = -8x -8 (divide both sides by 2)

y = -4x -2 for first line

Perpendicular line L has "opposite/inverse" slope

y = -4x + b becomes y = 1/4 x + b

What's b (the y-intercept)?

Plug the point (2, -12) into the equation y = 1/4 x + b to solve for b

-12 = 1/4 (2) + b

-12 = 1/2 + b (subtract 1/2 from both sides)

-12.5 =b (rewrite equation)

y = 1/4 x - 12.5

Taylor needs to repair her car but cannot spend more than $260 for the repairs. The part needed for the repair will cost $80 and

Oksanka [162]

Answer: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Taylor cannot spend over $260.

Subtract the cost of the part needed for the repair:

= 260 - 80

= $180

$180 is left for fixing the car after buying the part.

As the labor costs $30 and now she cannot exceed $180 for labor, the total number of hours the mechanic can work is:

= 180 / 30

= 6 hours

"Rebecca walks 100 feet in a straight line. She then turns 20 degrees to her left and walks another 100 feet, and then turns 20

iragen [17]

Answer:

1,800 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Rebecca will walk in the pattern of a regular polygon with 'n' sides and internal angles of 160 degrees (180 at a straight line - 20 degrees from each turn).

The equation that describes the internal angle of a regular polygon is:

$A = \frac{(n-2)*180}{n}$

For A = 160 degrees:

$160n=(n-2)*180\\(180-160)n=360\\n=18\ sides$

If each side is 100 ft long, the total distance that Rebecca has walked is:

$d = 18*100\\d=1,800\ ft$

She walked 1,800 ft.

Graph the line that goes through the point (-6,-2) with slope of 1

vekshin1

Answer:

<h2>Check out the image.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the equation of the straight line is y = mx + c; where m is the slope of the equation and c is the constant.

The line has the slope 1.

Hence, the equation becomes y = x + c.

Since, the line passes through (-6, -2), -2 = -6 + c or, c = 4.

Hence, the equation of the straight line becomes y = x + 4.

Putting x = 0, we get, y = 4.

The line passes through (0, 4).
