Answer:

y= -3/2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding a perpendicular line you take your slope and make it the opposite (flip it and change the sign).

Slope originally=2/3

New slope= -3/2

Next we will use the point slope equation

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=y value

m=slope

x1=x value

y--6= -3/2(x-12)  Since you have y minus negative 6 you get to change it to y+6

y+6= -3/2(x-12)  Now distribute your slope to both terms inside the parenthesis.

y+6= -3/2(x) -3/2(-12)

y+6= -3/2x +18    Finally subtract 6 from both sides.

  -6             -6

y= -3/2x + 12

If I make $7.25 a hour and I work for three days how much money is that every two weeks
trasher [3.6K]

There are a couple of things you didn't mention. 
In order to come up with an answer to the question,
I have to assume reasonable numbers for them, and
then answer the question that I have invented.

Assumption #1:  Each day that you work, you work for 8 hours.

Assumption #2:  You work for three days each week.

If those assumptions are true, then you earn

  ($7.25 / hour) x (8 hours/day) x (3 days/week) x (2 weeks)  =

       ($7.25 x 8 x 3 x 2)  =  $348  before taxes and other deductions.
