What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 6x+4y=-56

Mathematics
1 answer:
alex41 [277]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

First, put the equation of the line given into slope-intercept form by solving for y. You get y = -2x +5, so the slope is –2. Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2. Plugging in the point given into the equation y = 1/2x + b and solving for b, we get b = 6.Step-by-step explanation:

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

$1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of years.

We have been given that Tommy purchased a riding lawnmower with an original value of $2,500. The value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year. We are asked to find the value of lawnmower after 5 years.

Since the value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year, so value of lawnmower decrease in 5 years would be 5 times $300.

The final value of lawnmower would be initial value minus value decreased in 5 years.

\text{The value of the lawnmower after five years}=\$2500-\$300(5)

\text{The value of the lawnmower after five years}=\$2500-\$1500

\text{The value of the lawnmower after five years}=\$1000

Therefore, the value of lawnmower after  years would be $1000.

when a pen is sold at a discount of 15%, there is a gain of Rs 10. but if it is sold at 25% discount, there is a loss of Rs 2. f
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Rs 120.  

Step-by-step explanation:

10=0.85SP-CP; CP+10=0.85SP; SP=[CP+10]/0.85 Eq 1. Let SP= Selling Price and CP= Cost Price

-2 =0.75SP-CP; 0.75SP=C-2; SP=[CP-2]/0.75 Eq 2

[CP+10]/0.85=[CP-2]/0.75 : SP of Eq 1=SP of Eq 2

0.75[CP+10]=0.85[CP-2]

0.75CP+7.5=0.85CP-1.7

0.85CP-0.75CP=-1.7–7.5=9.2

0.10CP=9.2; CP=9.2/0.10

CP=Rs 92 Cost Price of pen

10=0.85SP-92; 0.85SP=92+10=102; SP=102/0.85=Rs 120 Marked Price of pen (answer)

From Eq2: -2=0.75SP-CP; 0.75SP=CP-2=92–2=90; SP=90/0.75=Rs120; -2=0.75(120)-CP; CP-2=0.75(120); CP-2=90; CP=90+2=Rs 92

Set CP of Eq 1=CP of Eq 2:

CP=0.85SP-10 from Eq 1; CP=0.75SP+2 from Eq 2;

0.85SP-10=0.75SP+2; 0.85SP-0.75SP=10+2=12

0.10SP=12; SP=12/0.10=Rs120 is the Marked Price(answer)

Normally, the Selling Price is the marked price. The seller will not disclose the Cost Price because it is the price when the item was acquired or procured, otherwise the buyer will ask for more discounts and based his buying price from the Cost Price if it is known. The calculated SP and CP satisfy both Eq 1 and Eq 2. Both Eq 1 and Eq 2 satisfy the given conditions of the problem above.
