Answer: y = -4/5x - 12

1. First find slope. Since you are trying to find a line perpendicular to y = 5/4x + 10, the slope would be the negative reciprocal of 5/4x.

slope = - 4/5x

2. plug in (-5,-8) and the slope of -4/5 to the point slope form equation
(y-y2) = slope (x-x2)

= y+8=-4/5(x+5)

3. solve and simply y+8=-4/5(x+5)

y = -4/5x - 12 is your answer

z = 106

y = 74

Since angle 74 and angle y are the same sizes, you can know for a fact they are the same measurments. Next, you would do 74(2) and that would get you 148. 360 - 148 is 212. 212/2 is 106. TADAAAAA. That's the answer.

You spend $20 total on tubes of paint and disposable brushes for an art project. Tubes of paint cost $4.00 each and paintbrushes
hram777 [196]
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b  ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20   ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4   ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b 
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
