Find the equation of the line that passes through (-1,2) and is perpendicular to

Mathematics
1 answer:
Natalija [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Remember that the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1 - 2x     the slope is -2     the value of the x term.

So the slope of the new line using point (- 1, 2)  is  1/2.

Now use y = mx + b where y = -1, x = 2, and m = 1/2 .

y = mx + b

-1 = 1/2(2) + b                solve for "b", the y-intersect

-1 =  1 + b

-2 = b

The line that is perpendicular to y = 1 - 2x  is  y = 1/2x - 2

A car salesman makes 2% commission on all cars, x, that he sells. How much commission does he make?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer: 0.02x

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the cars the salesman makes is x in this instance.

The salesman makes a 2% commission on every sale so this can be represented by multiplying 2% by the value of the cars which in this case is x.

= 2% * x

= 0.02 * x

= 0.02x

If for instance he sells $40,000 worth of cars, his commission would be:

= 0.02 * x

= 0.02 * 40,000

= $800
