<u>Note: this answer assumes the equation of the line can be put in slope-intercept form. </u>

Answer:

y + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(x-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of y + 7 = -2 (x - 6). We can see that it's already in point-slope form, or y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) format. Remember that the number in place of the m is the slope. Therefore, -2 is the slope of that equation.

What we need is the slope that is perpendicular to that, though. So, find the opposite reciprocal of -2. To do this, change its sign, convert it into a fraction (-\frac{2}{1}), and flip its numerators and denominators. Therefore, the perpendicular slope would be \frac{1}{2}.

2) Now that we have a slope and a point the line passes through, we can write an equation using the point-slope formula, y-y_1 = m (x-x_1). In order to write an equation, the x_1, y_1, and m have to be substitute for with real values.

The m represents the slope. We already calculated that in the last step, so put \frac{1}{2} in place of the m. The x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of a point the line passes through. We know that the line has to pass through (6, -3), so substitute 6 for x_1 and -3 for y_1:

y - (-3) = \frac{1}{2}(x -(6))\\y + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 6)

Therefore, (again, assuming that the line can be put in point-slope form) the answer is y + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(x-6).

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Total sales revenue use  excel function : ( SUMIF. =sumif(range, criteria, [sum_range] )

For each of the stores: Use excel function: For Store 1: =sumif(B4:B99,1,I4:I99) then repeat same for Store 2 to store 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To modify the spreadsheet to calculate the total sales revenue we will add a column " sales revenue "

multiply values of column : ( unit sold * unit price )  to get Total sales revenue. then use  excel function : ( SUMIF. =sumif(range, criteria, [sum_range] ) to find Total sales revenue

calculate the total revenue for each of the 8 stores using a pivot table using  "store identification number" in row  and " sales revenue " in values field

To get the sales revenue ; replace " store identification value" with sales region " column
