Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 2x-y-16

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alekssandra [29.7K]3 years ago
6 0

put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c

2x - y = 16

2x = 16 + y

y = 2x - 16

the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.

you can form this equation with that info

2x = -1

x = -1/2

OR

you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1

2/1

= -1/2

Mary and Julie both have a goal of raising $1000 for charity. Mary raises $12 every 4 days. Julie raises $19 every 6 days.
baherus [9]
Julie would reach her goal first. Julie would reach her goal in approximately 316 days while it would take Mary approximately 333 days to reach it.

I know this because the steps to solve the problem are:

1.) 1,000/12 = 83.333 (to find how many days it would take her everyday)

2.) 83.333x4 = 333 (multiplying the answer by four makes it every four days)

3.) determine that it takes Mary 333 days

4.) 1,000/19 = 52.631 (just like step 1 but with different numbers)

5.) 52.631x6 = 316 (just like in step 2 but different numbers)

6.) determine it takes Julie 316 days

7.) 316 < 333 (takes Julie less time)
