Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5y = 20

y = (-8/5)x + 4

slope of the line is -8/5.

slope of any perpendicular to the line is ⅝.

line of slope ⅝ that passes through P(4,5):

y-5 = ⅝(x-4)

y = ⅝x + 2.5

find intersection of lines

⅝x + 2.5 = (-8/5)x + 4

25x + 100 = -64x + 160

89x = 60

x = 60/89, y = 260/89

distance between (60/89, 260/89) and (4,5) = 3.92

aksik [14]

Answer:

2.5x+0.75y=933

x+y=747

Step-by-step explanation:

x= number of cheese sandwiches

y= number of soft drinks

first equation: 2.5x+0.75y=933

**this is representing the cost of the drinks and sandwiches

second equation: x+y=747

**because x and y are the NUMBER of soft drinks and sandwiches, they both have to toal up to 747.

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through point (-3, 8) is y = -2/3x + 6. What is the point-

Elena-2011 [213]

$y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so hmmm then we know the slope of that line is -2/3, so we're really looking for the point-slope form of a line with a slope of -2/3 and that passes through (-3 , 8)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{8}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)})\implies y-8=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+3)$
