Answer:

40/3

15 \times x = 200 \\ 15x = 200 \\ x = 200 \div 15 \\ x =   \frac{40}{3}

So you know that he earns $15 per hour so we can write that as 15h, h = # of hours worked

We also know he has to earn AT LEAST $200, so putting all this together we form the inequality(=< means less than or equal to): 15h =< 200

so now we have to solve for h (number of hours worked):

15h =< 200

(divide both sides by 15)

h =< 13 1/3

So, the painter must work a minimum of 13 and 1/3 hours to earn at least $200.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x+2y=28
malfutka [58]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, place the given equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx +b format) to find its slope easier. Isolate the y:

2x + 2y = 28\\2y = -2x + 28\\y = -x+14

So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = -x + 14. When an equation is in slope-intercept form, the m, or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope. Thus, the slope for the given line would be -1.

2) Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other. We need to find the opposite reciprocal of -1, then.

To find the opposite reciprocal of a number, write the given number as a fraction first -- making -1 be written as   -\frac{1}{1} -- then switch the sign and flip the numerator and denominator. So, the opposite reciprocal of -1 is 1, and 1 is the slope of the perpendicular line.
