Let the number of boxes = x


<u>moving company:</u>

Total cost = 150 + 5x


<u>taxi service:</u>

Total cost = 20x


<u>For the moving company to be cheaper:</u>

150 + 5x < 20x

150 < 20x - 5x

150 < 15x

10 < x

x > 10


Answer: Moving company is cheaper when there is more than 10 boxes.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

  5(x+1) -2(y-3) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given line ax+by=c and point (h, k), a perpendicular line through the point can be written as ...

  b(x-h) -a(y-k) = 0

A graphing calculator shows the point of intersection of the graphs of the two lines to be (x, y) = (-1, 3), so the line perpendicular to 2x+5y=5 through that point can be written ...

  5(x+1) -2(y-3) = 0

_____

In the attached graph, the requested line is shown in black.
