bearing in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's find the slope of 5x - y = 9 then.

$\bf 5x-y=9\implies -y=-5x+9\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{5}x-9\leftarrow \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{5\implies \cfrac{5}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{5}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{5}}}$

so then, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/5 and runs through (3,-10).

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-10})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -\cfrac{1}{5} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-10)=-\cfrac{1}{5}(x-3)\implies y+10=-\cfrac{1}{5}x+\cfrac{3}{5} \\\\\\ y=-\cfrac{1}{5}x+\cfrac{3}{5}-10\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{5}x+\cfrac{53}{5}$

and it looks like the one in the picture below.

Q20-23 with steps pls

just olya [345]

20: Let $x$ be the amount of money. If this amount is shared between 8 people, each person will get x/8 dollars. But there actually are 6 people, so everyone is getting x/6 dollars. We know that this difference results in 30 dollars more, so we have

$\dfrac{x}{6}=\dfrac{x}{8}+30 \iff \dfrac{x}{6}-\dfrac{x}{8}=30$

Rearrange the left hand side as

$\dfrac{4x-3x}{24}=30$

And multiply both sides by 24 to get

$x=720$

21: Let $M$ and $J$ be the number of marbles owned by Mike and Judy, respectively. At the beginning, we have

$M=3J+11$

If they both get 9 more marbles, Mike will have $M+9$ marbles, and Judy will have $J+9$ marbles. So, we have

$M+J+18=93 \iff M+J=75 \iff M=75-J$

Plug this value in the first equation and we have

$75-J=3J+11 \iff 4J=64 \iff J=16$

And we deduce

$M=16\cdot 3 + 11=59$

So, the difference is

$M-J=59-16=43$

22: Let $x,y,z$ be the number of $10, $20 and $50 coupon, respectively. We're given:

$\begin{cases}x=2y+3\\z=\frac{1}{2}y\\x+y+z=38\end{cases}
We can write the third equation by substituting the expressions for x and z:
[tex]x+y+z=(2y+3)+y+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}y\right)=38$
