Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-axis and any lines that are parallel to it are vertical. Therefore, a line that would be perpendicular to the y-axis would need to be horizontal. All horizontal lines have a slope equal to 0 and are represented by the equation y = a constant, or a single number with no variables.

The only option that follows that format is y = 5, thus that is the answer.

In a certain clothing store, 3 shirts and 5 ties cost $60, and 2 shirts and 3 ties cost $39. What is the cost of each shirt?

Dovator [93]

Let shirts be x and ties be y
3x+5y=$60 Equation 1 (Equation 1 will be denoted by *)
2x+3y=$39 Equation 2 (Equation 2 will be denoted by !)
*x2 6x + 10y = $120
!x3 6x + 9y = $117
*-! y = 120-117 =3

Ties are $3 each
Substitute this value back into one of the original 2 equations:
3x+5y=$60
3x+(5x3) = 60
3x+15=60
3x=45
x=15

Shirts are $15
