Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 3x+2y=6 through (2,-1).

1 answer:

4 0

Rearrange: 2y = 6 -3x
2y = - 3x + 6
y = -1.5x + 3
Now, substitute, perpendicular lines have the same gradient so:
-1 = -1.5 (2) + c
- 1 = -3 + c
2 = c

equation for new line: y = 1.5x + 2

Under her cell phone plan, Janelys pays a flat cost of $46.50 per month and $5 per gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill under $7

allsm [11]

Answer:

Less than 4.70 GB

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = # of GB that Janelys uses that month. Since Janelys wants to pay less than $70 given that the flat rate for subscribing to that company's data per month is $46.50 and each GB costs $5 to use, the inequality can be written as:

5x + 46.50 < 70

5x < 23.50 Subtract $45.60 from each side.

x < 4.70 GB Divide 5 from each side.

Thus, (if it is whole numbers) Janelys can use 4 GB while staying within her budget or (if decimals are fine) anything less than 4.70 GB. Hope this helped! :D
