Consider the line y = x+4.

1 answer:

8 0

When finding the perpendicular slope, you wanna find the reciprocal of the slope and make it negative if it’s originally positive and positive if it’s originally negative. For instance, a slope of 2 would become -1/2. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Eli has saved $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the first letters of their names to represent them.

A for Angela and E for ELi

So, from the first statement, we can write out an equation: E = $\frac{1}{3}$ A + 8, that is, one-third of Angela's savings + $8 will give us Eli's savings

From the second statement, we can write out: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4 which means that if $10 is added to both their savings, Eli will still have $4 more than Angela.

So, we can solve both equations;

Equation 1: E = $\frac{1}{3}$ A + 8

Equation 2: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4; which can be rewritten as E + 10 = A + 14

and then E = A + 4

The two equations (in bold), can then be solved simultaneously.

Let us carry out this operation to eliminate the E: Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, so that;

A + 4 - ( $\frac{1}{3}$ A + 8) = E - E

$\frac{2}{3}$ A - 4 = 0
