The slope of the current line is -2/7. To find the slope of the line perpendicular to it, find the negative reciprocal of the slope. So it would be 7/2. The y intercept or the b would remain the same so the equation would be y=7/2x+8. Hope this helps.
Price = (p + 1)(b)
In this scenario, the variable 'p' represents the profit in percentage (This equation assumes that you input percentage in a decimal).
'b' represents the base price or the original price.
-T.B.
X = large boxes and y = small boxes
x + y = 70.....x = 70 - y
60x + 65y = 4300
60(70 - y) + 65y = 4300
4200 - 60y + 65y = 4300
5y = 4300 - 4200
5y = 100
y = 100/5
y = 20 <=== the small boxes weigh 20 lbs
x + y = 70
x + 20 = 70
x = 70 - 20
x = 50 <== and the large boxes weigh 50 lbs
