What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 4x−10y=404x−10y=40. Fully simplify your answer.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

-  \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -10y= 40

Let's rewrite this equation in the slope-intercept form (y= mx +c) so that we can obtain it's slope.

10y= 4x -40

Divide both side by 10:

y =  \frac{2}{5} x - 4

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

⅖(gradient of line)= -1

Gradient of perpendicular line

=  - 1 \div  \frac{2}{5}

=  - 1 \times  \frac{5}{2}

=  -  \frac{5}{2}

The cost of six hens and one duck at the university poultry farm is GH₵40. While four hens and three ducks cost GH₵36. What is t
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.

The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.

The system is

6h + 1d = 40

4h + 3d = 36

The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,

1d = 40 - 6h.

Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,

4h + 3d = 36 becomes

4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!

4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and

-14h = -84 so

h = 6.

That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:

1d = 40 - 6(6) and

d = 40 - 36 so

d = 4.

That means that each duck costs $4.

Y = 15x + 10, where y is the total cost of renting 1 bicycle on the boardwalk for x hours. Determine whether the function is pro
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The function is non-proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function was proportional, when the number of hours spent riding the bicycle is equal to 0, the total cost of renting the bicycle would also be 0. In other words, the function would be proportional if y=0 when x=0. However, this is not the case.

y=15x+10

Plug 0 into the equation as x

y=15(0)+10\\y=10

When 1 bicycle has been rented for 0 hours, the customer still has to pay 10 dollars just for renting it. When x=0, y=10. This means that the function is non-proportional.

I hope this helps!
