Answer:

Slope is m=0

$y=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of any line that is perpendicular to the y-axis is zero.

The reason is that any line that is perpendicular to the y-axis is also parallel to the x-axis and the slope of the x-axis is zero.

The equation of any line perpendicular to the y-axis is and passes through (a,b) is y=b.

The given point is (-5,-3) hence the required equation is

$y=-3$

£100 in the ratio 3:2

Answer:

66.66 (other currency)

Step-by-step explanation:

If every £3 represents 2 of another currency, you just need to figure out how many groups of £3 are in £100 (so £100/£3 = 33.33). Now multiply this value by 2 to get the equivalent of £100 in another currency.

Write the inequality shown in this graph.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

y > -1/2 x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line : (y-y1)/(y2-y1) = (x-x1)/(x2-x1)

(y-4)/(2-4)= (x-0)/(4-0)

(y-4)/-2 = x/4

(-y+4)/2 = x/4

-y+4 = 1/2 x

-y = 1/2 x - 4

y = -1/2 x + 4

the solutions of the inequality are the points above this line, so

y > -1/2 x + 4

The cost of a camera decreased from $150 to $65.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

90. The original cost of a camera of a camera is 150 dollars, Now it decreased into 65 dollars. Let’s solve for the percent of decreased in the price of the camera. => 150 = 100% => 65 / 150 = .43 => .43 * 100% = 43%, 65 = 43% of the amount => 100% - 43% = 57% Thus, the price of the camera decreased for about 57% of the original price and now only costs 43% of the original price.
