Answer:
12x +8y +1 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
You can write the equation by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Then compute the constant that makes the line go through the given point. You can do that like this:
3(x-(-3/4)) +2(y -1) = 0
3x +9/4 +2y -2 = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses
3x +2y +1/4 = 0 . . . . . . . simplify
To eliminate the fraction, multiply by 4:
12x +8y +1 = 0

<em>Comment on the equation</em>
The line ax+by=0 passes through the origin. Replacing x and y with x-h and y-k, respectively, makes the line pass through the point (h, k). That's what we did above to make the line pass through the given point.
The business of swapping coefficients and negating one causes the slope of the new line to be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. That is what makes the new line perpendicular to the original.
Let's start by declaring our varibles.
x = number of lawns Mr. Brust mowed
y = total amount of money Mr. Brust made
Let's create our equation.
y = 15x + 55
For part b, we can plug 800 in for y.
800 = 15x + 55
Subtract 55 from both sides.
745 = 15x
Divide both sides by 15
50 = x. Note, I rounded the answer to the nearest integer.
For part c, we can plug 13 in for x.
y = 15(13) + 55
Simplify the right side of the equation.
y = 250
