Answer:
y = -(8/5)x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Rewrite the given equation into slope-intercept form by solving for y
8y−16=5x
8y = 5x + 16
y = (5/8)x + 2
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other. That means you take the slope, flip the fraction, and change the sign.
Here our given line is y = (5/8)x + 2 so the slope 5/8
The opposite reciprocal of 5/8 is -8/5
We set up the equation
y = -(8/5)x + b
we are given a point (x, y) of (5, -5), so plug that in and solve for b
-5 = -(8/5)(5) + b
-5 = -8 + b
3 = b
So our equations is y = -(8/5)x + 3
By hypothesis, each minute of local calls costs $0.05
So x minutes of local calls will cost 0.05x : You just multiply the cost of 1 minute by the total amount of minutes.
Same thing for long distances calls: Each minute costs $0.12, so y minutes of long distance calls will cost 0.12x
So to get your total charge (local calls + long distance calls), you just need to add the charges for local calls with the charges for long distance calls, which means that you need to add the expressions we got previously:
P = 0.05x + 0.12y (with P the total charge)
Hope this Helps! :)
you would cross multiply meaning 6(2x+2)=11(x-4) Then you distribute 6 so it would be 12x+12=11x-44 then you have to move the constant and the variable so 12x-11x= -44-12 so then the answer would be x = -56
