Answer:
y = mx + b
Step-by-step explanation:
Use that form to find the slope.
The hotel is $250 plus $25 per person so the equation would be
y= 25x + 250
(Y is the total cost and x is the number of people)
the restaurant is $100 plus $40 per person so the equation would be
y = 40x + 100
What we want to know is which x value would make the y values equal to each other. So you can just replace the "y" in one equation with the other equation:
25x + 250 = 40x + 100
and then solve...
1. subtract 100 from both sides
25x + 150 = 40x
2. subtract 25x from both sides
150 = 15 x
3. divide both sides by 15
10 = x
you can check by plugging 10 into the original equations
25(10) + 250
250 + 250 = 500
and
40(10) + 100
400 + 100 = 500
they both cost $500 when you invite 10 people

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find an equation of a line that's perpendicular to x=1 that also passes through the point (8,-9).
Note that x=1 is a <em>vertical line </em>since x is 1 no matter what y is.
This means that if our new line is perpendicular to the old, then it must be a <em>horizontal line</em>.
So, since we have a horizontal line, then our equation must be our y-value of our point.
Our y-coordinate of our point (8,-9) is -9.
Therefore, our equation is:
And this is in standard form.
And we're done!
