Help? I'm not exactly sure how to do this :/

What you do is plug the z value (first column) into the formula (second column), and solve for y. For instance, the first one would be y = -1-2, or -3. The x would be the x in the ordered pair, and the final ordered pair would be (-1,-3). Make sense?

Consider the line y = 7x-9.

KatRina [158]

$y = \frac{-1}{7}x -\frac{8}{7}$ is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)

y = 7x - 44 equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given that line is:</u></em>

y = 7x - 9

<em><u>The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + b ------ eqn 1

Where, "m" is the slope of line and "b" is the y intercept

On comparing eqn 1 with y = 7x - 9 we get,

m = 7

<h3><u>Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)</u></h3>

We know that,

Product of slope of a line and slope of line perpendicular to given is always -1

Therefore,

$7 \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to it } = -1\\\\\text{ slope of line perpendicular to it } = \frac{-1}{7}$

Now find the equation of line:

$\text{ Substitute } m = \frac{-1}{7} \text{ and } (x, y) = (6, -2) \text{ in eqn 1}$

$-2 = \frac{-1}{7} \times 6 + b\\\\-2 = \frac{-6}{7} + b\\\\b = -2+\frac{6}{7}\\\\b = \frac{-14+6}{7}\\\\b = \frac{-8}{7}$

$\text{Substitute } m = \frac{-1}{7} \text{ and } b = \frac{-8}{7} \text{ in eqn 1}\\\\y = \frac{-1}{7}x -\frac{8}{7}$

Thus the equation of line perpendicular to given line is found

<h3><u>Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)</u></h3>

Slopes of parallel lines are equal

Therefore, m = 7

<em><u>Substitute m = 7 and (x, y) = (6, -2) in eqn 1</u></em>

-2 = 7(6) + b

-2 = 42 + b

b = -44

<em><u>Substitute m = 7 and b = -44 in eqn 1</u></em>

y = 7x - 44

Thus equation of line parallel to given line is found

a sporting goods store receives a shipment of 124 golf bags. The shipment includes two types of bags, full-sized and collapsible

Dominik [7]

The sporting goods store receives the shipment of 124 golf bags in total.
Let us assume that the number of full-sized bags = X
Then the number of collapsible golf bags = 124 - X
Cost of each full sized bags = $38.50
Cost of each collapsible bags = $22.50
Total cost of the 124 bags received by the sporting goods store = $3430
Then
(38.50)X + (124 - X)22.50 = 3430
(38.50X - 22.50X) + 2790 = 3430
16X = 3430 - 2790
16X = 640
X = 640/16
= 40
So the number of full-sized golf bags received = 40
Then the number of collapsible golf bags received = 124 - 40
= 84
