Allison is working two summer jobs, making $12 per hour lifeguarding and $8 per hour washing cars. Last week Allison worked 3 mo

re hours lifeguarding than hours washing cars hours and earned a total of $96. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of hours Allison worked lifeguarding last week, x , x, and the number of hours Allison worked washing cars last week, y y.

Answer:

Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of hours Allison worked lifeguarding last week = x

Number of hours Allison worked washing cars last week = y

1. Last week Allison worked 3 more hours lifeguarding than hours washing cars hours, then

x-y=3

<u>Lifeguarding:</u>

$12 per hour

$12x in x hours.

<u>Washing cars:</u>

$8 pere hour

$8y in y hours.

2. Allison earned a total of $96, hence

12x+8y=96

You get the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x-y=3\\ \\12x+8y=96\end{array}\right.

Plot the graphs of these two equations (see attached diagram). These line intersect at point (6,3), so Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=3x-2 and passes through the point (6 8) ?
Scrat [10]
The result is a line perpendicular to y=3x-2
This line has the following equation: y =mx + b, where m = slope

Remember that the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is always = -1 (or in other term one is the reciprocal inverse of the other) so the
first slope = 3 and the sope perpendicular to 3 will be - 1/3.
Then the new equation is y = - 1/3(x) + b
How to calculate b? This line passes through (6, 8), that
means (x=6 and y=8) . Plug these values in y = -1/3 (x)+b:3
 8=(-1/3)(6) + b; 
8= - 2 + b and b = 10
Te final equation is y = - 1/3.x+10 (answer A)

Fine the slope of the line through each pair of points . (-8,-20),(5,2)
kozerog [31]

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-8, -20) and (5, 2). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{2-(-20)}{5-(-8)}=\dfrac{22}{13}

Answer: The slope is \dfrac{22}{13}
