Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we first need to find the slope of the original equation. We can do this by solving for y.

x - 2y = -6

-2y = -x - 6

y = 1/2x + 3

Now that we have a slope of 1/2, we know the new perpendicular line will have a slope of -2. We know this because perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. This means we flip it and change the sign. Now we can use this slope along with the point to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -2(x - 3)

y - 2 = -2x + 6

y = -2x + 8

A bicycle helmet has a selling price of $50. The helmet is discounted 30% off the selling price. The sales tax rate is 6%. What
Andrei [34K]
Convert 30% to a decimal by dividing by 100 = 0.30

Multiply by the cost of the helmet, $50
50 x 0.30 = $15, the amount of the discount.

50-15 = $35, the sale price of the helmet.

For the sales tax, again, convert to a decimal by dividing by 100 = 0.06

35 x 0.06 = 2.10, the amount of sales tax

$35 + $2.10 = $37.10, total cost with tax
