For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1
So we first need to find the slope of the reference line.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(7-2)/(-1--5)=5/4
So the perpendicular line will have a slope of:
5m/4=-1
m=-4/5
So our perpendicular line so far is:
y=-4x/5+b, now we can use point (3,-1) to solve for the y-intercept, "b"
-1=-4(3)/5+b
-1=-12/5+b
-5/5+12/5=b
7/5=b
So the line is:
y=-4x/5+7/5 or more neatly
y=(-4x+7)/5
y=-0.8x+1.4
So, youd start by adding the two sales together to get total sales. Then you would divide that number by the gas sales to get the percent
65560+36740 = x
36740/ x = the percentage :)
I thinkkkkk that you have to see what 2 #'s equal 7??
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x has to be equal to or less than a -5 to get (4 + x) to be a negative number.
x has to be equal to or greater than -10 for (11 + x) to be a positive number.
Therefore, any number between -10 and -5 will work.
4(9+7) = 36+28 = 64
open the parentheses, then simplify.
