What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,-4) and is perpendicular to the line 5x+6y=36

Answer:

y = 6/5x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's fix this equation

5x + 6y = 36 (subtract 5x on both sides)

6y = -5x + 36 (divide by 6 on both sides)

y = -5/6x + 6

NOW

The perpendicular slope of this equation is 6/5

Now we have to plug in (-5,-4) to get the y-intercept

-4 = 6/5(-5) + b  (distribute 6/5 to -5)  (b represents the y-intercept)

-4 = -6 + b (add 6 on both sides)

2 = b

So your equation is...

y = 6/5x + 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Remember, the first point in a bracket like this (6, 1) is the x coordinate. Here, 6 is your x coordinate. So, if we actually had the line (which we don't have right now, it would be lined up with the number 6 on the x axis. And the second point, 1 here, is the y coordinate. Which tells you where this point falls on the y axis. it would be lined up with the number 1 on the y axis. </u> First, let's work on the parts where you are listing the points. it seems to give you the x coordinate 2 on the first one. So on the x axis which is the horizontal line that says Number of Books Sold, go to the number 2. Then y upward with your mouse and the first point that appears with the x coordinate of 2 (it's the 2nd point if you start from the bottom of the line and go up) has the y coordinate of 20 because if you use your mouse to go left on the same gray line that point is on, you will hit 20 on the line that says Total Amount Payed (this is your y axis). Now, on the next point it just gives you the y coordinate, 40. Which means that it should be on the grey line that hits the number 40 on the Total Amount Payed line (your y axis). So if you find that point and go down with your mouse on the gray line right under it, you should hit 4. So that point is  (4, 40). 6 is not labeled but it is the gray line after the 5 on the x axis. If you go up 6, you hit the to right corner of the graph and if you trace it to the y-axis, it's not labeled but it should be 60 because if you pay attention, the numbers on the y-axis are going up by 10s. The x coordinate represents The Number of Books Sold because it says that under the x axis. The y coordinate represents the Total Amount Payed (dollars). ordered pairs are like ratios because they are both pairs. Ordered pairs tell you how much to go up, down, forwards, and backwards on a coordinate plane while ratios tell you a proportion. I am including a picture to help you out. I hope this made sense and was helpful!

Ethan repairs household appliances like dishwashers and refrigerators. For each visit, he charges $25 plus $20 per hour of work.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:the independent variable is x, the number of hours of work.

The dependent variable is y, the total charge for x hours of work.

Step-by-step explanation:

A change in the value of the independent variable causes a corresponding change in the value of in dependent variable. Thus, the dependent variable is is output while the independent variable is the input

For each visit, he charges $25 plus $20 per hour of work. The linear expression that represents the total amount of money that Ethan earns per visit is y = 25 + 20x.

Since the total amount charged, y depends on the number of hours of work, x, it means that the dependent variable is y and the independent variable is x
