Answer: I believe it is D..
5x + 4x = 720
9x = 720 (divide by 9)
X= 80
In order to get the bigger ratio, which is 5, you would substitute x for 80. (I'm bad at explaining)
Work:
5(80)= 400
Rida:
5 1/2 :77
5.5 : 77
Divide both sides by 5.5 to get $/hour:
1:14
Elisa:
3 3/4:60
3.75:60
Divide both sides by 3.75 to get $/hour:
1:16
16 is bigger than 14 so Elisa earns more.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
y=-1/4x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1.
Our given line:
y=4x-5
the slope (m) in it is 4. To find the slope of the perpendicular line:
4m=-1
divide by 4
m=-1/4
the slope of the new line is -1/4
here's our equation so far:
y=-1/4x+b
Since the line will pass through the point (-4,6) we can use it to solve for b (y intercept)
so substitute (-4,6) into the equation
6=-1/4(-4)+b
6=1+b
5=b
the y intercept is 5
so our equation is:
y=-1/4x+5
hope this helps! :D
