Part (a)
<h3>Answer: y1 and y3 are perpendicular</h3>This is because the two slopes 2 and -1/2 multiply to -1. Perpendicular slopes multiply to -1 assuming neither line is vertical or horizontal.
=====================================================
Part (b)
Graph each line to see where they cross. The three points of intersection are
(0,4)
(2,-2)
(4,2)
The order of the points doesn't matter.
You could also form three systems of equations pairing up the equations, and solving each system. That way you can find the points of intersection. Graphing may be a better and faster route in my opinion. See the diagram below.
The price of the sweater was reduced by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; Cost before reduction was $20. The cost after reduction was 12$. Cost reduced= cost before reduction - cost after reduction
Cost reduced= $20 - $12 = $8
Step 2; We must find how much of the cost was reduced from the initial cost i.e. how much $8 is to $20. To do this we must convert it into a percentage. We divide the $8 with the $20 to get a value. This value must be multiplied with a 100 to be converted into a percentage.
Cost by which sweater was reduced= * 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40
So the price of the sweater was reduced from $20 to $8 which equates to a reduction in 40%.
