Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciproclas. That means their product equals -1.

If you know the slope of a line, to find the slope of a perpendicular line, flip the slope and change the sign.

Given line: slope = -2

-2 is the same as -2/1

Flip it: -1/2

Change the sign: 1/2

Answer: 1/2

(45pts) An elevator holds at most 1,400 pounds. A team of movers and their cart have a combined weight of 1,200 pounds. If each

Let $x$ be the number of boxes the team brings with them. Their weight combined with the boxes can't exceed the capacity of 1400. Assuming the elevator runs fine at that exact weight, you want to find the number of boxes, each of which contributes 40 pounds. This is given by the equation

$1400=1200+40x$

Solving for $x$ , you have

$1400=1200-40x$
$200=40x$
$x=5$

So the team can bring *at most* 5 boxes at a time.

A salesperson earns a commission based on the number and type of vehicle sold. A person selling 6 cars and 3 trucks earns $4,800

madam [21]

4800 divide by 3=1600 (2 cars 1 truck)

4600-1600-3000 (6 cars)

3000 divide by 3 = 1000(2cars)

1000 times 2=2000(4 cars )

4800-2000-2800 (2 cars 3 trucks)

$2,800 is your answer
