bearing in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what's the slope of the equation above?

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2 and runs through (2,-5),
Hello.
Here's our explanation: First, you had to multiply line them up. 
, then 3*3=9. Bring down the zero, then multiply 2*2=4. And 3*2=6, which gives us equal to 640. Finally, add it up, 96+640=736. 736 is the final answer.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
Is there a picture or a graph? Not enough info I’m sorry!
Let x be the number of months.
The first plan is 15 dollars sign up fee and 38 dollars per month. So the equation is 38x + 15.
The second plan is 78 dollars as sign up fee and 31 dollars per month. So the equation is 31x + 78.
We need find when x has the same value in both equations, so we do their equality:
38x + 15 = 31x + 78
Let's subtract 15 from both sides
38x + 15 = 31x + 78
38x + 15 - 15 = 31x + 78 - 15
38x = 31x + 63
Now let's subtract 31x from both sides to have the variables on a side and the numbers on side:
38x = 31x + 63
38x - 31x = 31x - 31x + 63
7x = 63
Divide both sides by 7 to have the variable x on a side and its value on the other:
(7x)/7 = 63/7
x = 9
So at month 9, the 2 plans will cost the same.
Let's check our answers, and let y be the cost:
y = 38x + 15 = 38*9 + 15 = 357
y = 31x + 78 = 31*9 + 78 = 357
Our answer has been approved.
Hope this helps! :D
