Answer:

$38.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much money he gets paid in a day. Multiply 8 x .97, which equals $7.76. Then, multiply $7.76 x 5 to see how much he gets paid in 5 days. $7.76 x 5= $38.8

Hope this helps!

$38.80 per week because 8x5 is 40 then 40 times 97 cents is 38.80

What is the equation of a line perpendicular to:

Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

"perpendicular" means it creates a right angle (90°) with the original line.

a key element is the slope (the incline) of the line.

it is the factor of x (here 1/4 for the original line) and is defined as the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.

the given slope of 1/4 means that for every increase in x by 4 units y increases by 1 unit.

now if you want to draw a few random lines, and then draw lines that cross them with a right angle, you will see very quickly the relationship of the slopes of the crossing lines :

for the slope of the perpendicular line x and y of the original slope trade places (the ratio turns "upside-down") and the sign of the slope flips (if the original line goes up, then the perpendicular line goes down and vice versa. so + turns into -, and - into +).

so, our original slope 1/4 turns into -4/1 = -4.

we still have infinite possibilities to draw such a perpendicular line (more up or more down on the coordinate grid).

to finally "nail" one particular line we need to use the given point and solve for the y-intercept.

the general slope-intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y-intercept (the y value for x = 0).

so, using the slope (-4) and the point (2, 5) we have

5 = -4×2 + b = -8 + b

13 = b

so, the full equation is

y = -4x + 13
