Hey!
So the first thing we realize is that it says that the equation is perpendicular to the line, meaning that the slope of the line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line you are given. Since we are given the slope of this line as 3/4 we can take the negative reciprocal of this to get -(4/3).
Now that we have the slope and a point on the line you can plug those into the equation y = mx + b to find b. The slope of the line is m and the point contains the x and y values.
5 = -(4/3)(-3) + b
5 = 4 + b
1 = b
Since we have the y-intercept and the slope now we can plug that into the slope-intercept form equation to get the equation we need:
y = -(4/3)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:
We remove the bracket and rearrange the numbers to add them. Only similar variables can be added together.
Answer:
160 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Company A form $130 a day plus $0.30 per mile
Company A = 130 + 0.30x
Company B charges $50 a day plus $0.80 per mile
Company B = 50 + 0.80x
Where,
x = number of miles
Equate the cost of company A and company B
130 + 0.30x = 50 + 0.80x
Collect like terms
130 - 50 = 0.80x - 0.30x
80 = 0.50x
Divide both sides by 0.50x
x = 80 / 0.50
= 160
x = 160 miles
The number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same is 160 miles
D 288 because 216/3 equals 72 times that by 4 and you get 288.
