Answer:

The friend's claim is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal yo -1)

Example

A given line has a slope of m_1=1/2  ---> (is less than 1)

the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is equal to

m_1*m_2=-1

substitute

(1/2)*m_2=-1

m_2=-2

so

the perpendicular line don't have a positive slope

therefore

The friend's claim is not correct

I believe it is neither

For one if you plug in either of them the first one is going to be negative 3. But if you use the second one then your answer would be -3+12= -10 but -3+12 is 9 so I would go with neither because I don't see how it's both

Which statement describes the relationship between labor cost and time for a car repair?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we see the graph, we can say that the correct statement is :

A.)All repairs requiring 1 hour or less have the same labor cost. We can see that the coat from 0 hours to 1 hour is $50. So, the number of hours falling in this range has the same repairing cost.

B.) Labor costs the same no matter how many hours are used for a repair. This is wrong as the graph is increasing after 1 hour.

C.) Labor costs for a repair are more expensive as the number of hours increases. This is wrong as the hours are increasing from 0.25 to 0.5 then to 0.75 but they all have the same cost.

D.)There is no cost of labor for a repair requiring less than 1 hour. This is also wrong. The cost is $50.
