How do you write an equation of a line so that it is parallel or perpendicular to a given point ?

To find the parallel :
First of all, Parallel equations should have the same slope and a different y-intercept!

When we’re given a point (x,y), we write our equation in the y = mx + b form, then substitute the given point for (x,y) and solve for B!

However, to find the slope of the perpendicular equation, you need to get the negative reciprocal of the slope!

For example, if the slope is 3 in the original equation, it would be - 1/3 in perpendicular equation.

We then substitute the given point for (x,y)!


Hope this helps :)

Breanna has quarters, dimes, and nickels in her purse. she has 3 fewer nickles than dimes, but she has 2 more nickles than quart
zmey [24]
We base ourselves in the one piece of crucial evidence: She has 2 quarters.
-from the rest of the problem, we know that she has 2 more NICKEL'S than QUARTERS, 

(2 Quarters + 2 = 4 nickels)

she has 3 fewer nickels than dimes, 

DIME - 3 = Nickels

D - 3 = 4

D = 7

7 dimes
(70 cents)

4 nickels
(20 cents)

2 quarters
(25 cents)

115 cents
or $1.15

The average number of customers per day increased 25 percent during the sale. If the average number of customers per day before
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The average number of customers per day during the sale was 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Before the sale, the average number of customers per day was 120, which is 100% = 1.

Now, there are x customers, and since it is an increase of 25%, it is 100+25 = 125% = 1.25. So

120 - 1

x - 1.25

x = 1.25*120 = 150

The average number of customers per day during the sale was 150.

A band sells tickets to a concert cost either $15 for adults or $10 for students. A total of 150 tickets are sold. If the band m
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Number of adult tickets sold= 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Adults tickets= $15

Student tickets= $10

Number of tickets sold= 150

Total sales= $2,000

<u>First, we determine the systems of equations:</u>

15*x + 10*y= 2,000

x + y = 150

x= number of adults tickets sold

y= number of students tickets sold

<u>Now, we isolate x in one equation, and substitute it in the other one:</u>

x= 150 - y

15*(150 - y) + 10y = 2,000

2,250 - 15y + 10y = 2,000

250 = 5y

50= y

x= 150 - 50

x= 100

<u>Prove: </u>

15*100 + 10*50= 2,000

100 + 50 = 150
