1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
3x +2y +24 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
In general, the equation of a perpendicular line can be found by swapping the coefficients of x and y, then negating one of them. The value of the constant will be what is required to make the line pass through the given point.
The equation will be of the form ...
3x +2y +c = 0
At the given point, (x, y) = (-6, -3), we have ...
3(-6) +2(-3) +c = 0 . . . . substitute the given point coordinates
-18 -6 +c = 0 . . .simplify
c = 24 . . . . . . . . add 24
The general-form equation for the line is ...
3x +2y +24 = 0 . . . . . shown in blue in the attachment

Answer:
16 people
Step-by-step explanation:
First subtract the cost of the rental from the amount of money:
$400-$150 = $250
Therefore Tia has $250 to spend for additional people. Then if each person is $15, divide the remaining amount of money by the amount of money per person:
$250/$15 = 16.67
Since you can't have 0.67 of a person she can have 16 people go with her.
This can also be modeled by this inequality:
