So perp. is the slope flipped and changed signs because they have to equal to -1. so:
first you need to get it into slope intercept form:
4x - y = 16
-4x
-y = 16 - 4x
/-
y = 4x - 16
then flip and change the sign of the slope
y = -1/4x + b
add your coords
4 = -1/4(0) + b
4 = 0 + b
-0
4 = b
then make your new slope intercept form:
y = -1/4x + 4

answer:

y = -1/4x + 4

Answer:

The ordered pair (6,25) is a solution to both

$y=-\frac{5}{2}x+40$ and $y=\frac{5}{3}x+15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 7)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the equation of the line with positive slope

take the points (0,15) and (9,30)

<em>Find the slope</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the given values

$m=\frac{30-15}{9-0}$

$m=\frac{15}{9}$

simplify

$m=\frac{5}{3}$

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{5}{3}$

$b=15$

substitute

$y=\frac{5}{3}x+15$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the equation of the line with negative slope

take the points (0,40) and (8,20)

<em>Find the slope</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the given values

$m=\frac{20-40}{8-0}$

$m=-\frac{20}{8}$

simplify

$m=-\frac{5}{2}$

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-\frac{5}{2}$

$b=40$

substitute

$y=-\frac{5}{2}x+40$

step 3

Find the solution of the system

we know that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is (6,25) ----> see the graph

therefore

The ordered pair (6,25) is a solution to both $y=-\frac{5}{2}x+40$ and

$y=\frac{5}{3}x+15$
