Answer:

y = 1/2x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is in slope-intercept form, so you recognize its slope is -2. The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of that, so is -1/-2 = 1/2.

The y-intercept can be found from ...

b = y -mx . . . . . for line of slope m through point (x, y)

b = -1 -(1/2)(2) = -1 -1 = -2

Then the slope-intercept equation of the perpendicular line is ...

y = 1/2x -2

On weekdays it costs £6.50 per hour to hire a tennis court at Meadway

Minchanka [31]

Answer: £16.90

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that it costs £6.50 per hour to hire a tennis court at Meadway Tennis Club but that on Saturdays the cost is 30% more. The cost in Saturdays per hour will then be:

= £6.50 + (30% × £6.50)

= £6.50 + ( 0.3 × £6.50)

= £6.50 + £1.95

= £8.45

The cost to hire a court for 2 hours on a Saturday will then be:

= £8.45 × 2

= £16.90
