equation of perpendicular line

Luda [366]3 years ago

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

2x - 3y + 9 = 0 ( subtract 2x + 9 from both sides )

- 3y = - 2x - 9 ( divide terms by - 3 )

y = \frac{2}{3} x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{2}{3}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{2}{3} } = - \frac{3}{2}

Since the equation passes through the origin then y- intercept is zero , that is c = 0

y = - \frac{3}{2} x ← equation of perpendicular line

A piggy bank contains pennies, nickels, and dimes. The number of dimes is 15 more than the number of nickels, and there are 140
amm1812

Answer:

Option D is correct.

There are 34 nickels in the piggy bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

A piggy bank contains pennies, nickels and dimes.

Let the number of pennies be p

Let the number of nickels be n

Let the number of dimes be d

Also, note that 1 penny = $0.01

1 nickel = $0.05

1 dime = $0.10

- The number of dimes is 15 more than the number of nickels.

d = 15 + n

- There are 140 coins altogether totaling $7.17.

p + n + d = 140

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17

Bringing the 3 equations together

d = 15 + n (eqn 1)

p + n + d = 140 (eqn 2)

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17 (eqn 3)

Substitute (eqn 1) into (eqn 2)

p + n + d = 140

p + n + (15 + n) = 140

p + 2n + 15 = 140

p = 140 - 15 - 2n = 125 - 2n

p = 125 - 2n (eqn 4)

Substitute (eqn 1) and (eqn 4) into (eqn 3)

0.01p + 0.05n + 0.1d = 7.17

0.01(125 - 2n) + 0.05n + 0.1(15 + n) = 71.7

1.25 - 0.02n + 0.05n + 1.5 + 0.1n = 7.17

0.1n + 0.05n - 0.02n + 1.5 + 1.25 = 7.17

0.13n + 2.75 = 7.17

0.13n = 7.17 - 2.75 = 4.42

0.13n = 4.42

n = (4.42/0.13) = 34

d = 15 + n = 15 + 34 = 49

p = 125 -2n = 125 - (2×34) = 125 - 68 = 57

Hence, there are 57 pennies, 34 nickels and 49 dimes in the piggy bank.
