What equation represents a line which is perpendicular to the line y=-2/5x + 5

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vilka [71]2 years ago

Answer:  y = 5/2 x + 5 or  more clearly:  y = \frac{5}{2}x+ 5

Step-by-step explanation:  Slope intercept form y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y-intercept

To write the equation for a perpendicular line

Both lines could share the y-intercept, (0,5) so the "b" term can be the same. But it may be different. The slope of a perpendicular line is the reciprocal of the original slope with the opposite sign.

So invert 2/5 to become 5/2 and change the negative sign to positive.

The resulting equation is y = 5x/2 + 5 or  y = 2.5x + 5

Matthew invested $3,000 into two accounts. One account paid 3% interest and the other paid 8% interest. He earned 4% interest on
boyakko [2]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Mathew invested</em><em> $600 and $2400</em><em> in each account.</em>

<u>Solution:</u>

From question, the total amount invested by Mathew is $3000. Let p = $3000.

Mathew has invested the total amount $3000 in two accounts. Let us consider the amount invested in first account as ‘P’

So, the amount invested in second account = 3000 – P

Step 1:

Given that Mathew has paid 3% interest in first account .Let us calculate the simple interest (I_1) earned in first account for one year,

\text {simple interest}=\frac{\text {pnr}}{100}

Where  

p = amount invested in first account

n = number of years  

r = rate of interest

hence, by using above equation we get (I_1) as,  

I_{1}=\frac{P \times 1 \times 3}{100} ----- eqn 1

Step 2:

Mathew has paid 8% interest in second account. Let us calculate the simple interest (I_2) earned in second account,

I_{2} = \frac{(3000-P) \times 1 \times 8}{100} \text { ------ eqn } 2

Step 3:

Mathew has earned 4% interest on total investment of $3000. Let us calculate the total simple interest (I)

I = \frac{3000 \times 1 \times 4}{100} ----- eqn 3

Step 4:

Total simple interest = simple interest on first account + simple interest on second account.

Hence we get,

I = I_1+ I_2 ---- eqn 4

By substituting eqn 1 , 2, 3 in eqn 4

\frac{3000 \times 1 \times 4}{100} = \frac{P \times 1 \times 3}{100} + \frac{(3000-P) \times 1 \times 8}{100}

\frac{12000}{100} = \frac{3 P}{100} + \frac{(24000-8 P)}{100}

12000=3P + 24000 - 8P

5P = 12000

P = 2400

Thus, the value of the variable ‘P’ is 2400  

Hence, the amount invested in first account = p = 2400

The amount invested in second account = 3000 – p = 3000 – 2400 = 600  

Hence, Mathew invested $600 and $2400 in each account.

She needs 3/4 cup of water she needs 10 more servings what's the answer A 1/1/5 b 3/1/4 c 7/2/4 d 8/2/3
Eddi Din [679]
<h2><u>Corect option</u> :</h2>

= \color{plum}\tt(C) 7 \frac{2}{4}

<h2><u>Answer with steps</u> :</h2>

Quantity of water she needs = \tt \frac{3}{4} \:  cup

Number of servings she needs = 10

Number of cups of water she will need :

= \tt \frac{3}{4} \:   \times 10

=  \tt\frac{30}{4}

=\tt  7\frac{2}{4} \:  cups

Thus, she needs \tt  7\frac{2}{4} \:  cups of water.

Therefore, the correct option is \color{plum}\tt(C) 7 \frac{2}{4}

Ben earns 9 dollars per hour and 6 dollars for each delivery he makes.He wants to earn more than 155 dollars in a 8 hour work da
Luden [163]
9 x 8 = 72
155 - 72 = 83
83 divided by 6 =13.8

So he has to make at least 14 deliveries in order to reach his goal.
