Answer:

The equation of the line that is <em>perpendicular</em> to <em>y = 2x + 2</em> is

<em>y = -1/2x</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The original equation is y = 2x + 2; it's slope is <em>2</em>

Any line perpendicular to this equation would have to have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

Example:

y = 2x + 2 so,

the perpendicular line's slope must be -1/2

Write a new equation with the new slope:

y = -1/2x + b

We know that this line passes through (8, -4)

Plug these coordinates in the equation to find b, the y-intercept

-4 = -1/2 (8) + b

-4 = -4 + b

0 = b

b = 0

We do not have to write y = -1/2x + 0

So, our final answer is "y = -1/2x  is perpendicular to y = 2x+2"

What that two numbers when multiplied give 600 and when added give 59 ​
ozzi

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y

From the problem we have that

x * y = 600 and x + y = 59

From x + y = 59 -> x = 59 - y

Plug x = 59 - y to x * y = 600 we have

(59 - y) * y = 600

-> 59y - y^2 = 600

-> -y^2 + 59y - 600 = 0

-> y = (59 - \sqrt{1081})/2 or (59 + \sqrt{1081})/2

Then we could plug the answers in and find x because x = 59 - y

You are choosing between two different cell phone plans. The first plan charges a rate of 24 cents per minute. The second plan c
Virty [35]

Answer: 286 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

x : # of months that has gone by

0.24x : cost of the 24 cent plan after "x" minutes

39.95 + 0.10x : cost of the 10 cent plan after "x" minutes

1. 39.95 + 0.10x > 0.24x

2. 39.95 > 0.24x - 0.10x

3. 39.95 > 0.14x

4. 285.36 > x

x must be AT LEAST 286 minutes for plan #2 (39.95 + 0.10x) to be a better deal
