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

Someone plz help I need this answer quick !

The answer is 5 months, with the cost of $85. You can find this answer by first writing the charges as 12x + 25 and 10x + 35. Then, you set them equal to each other and solve to find x, which is the number of months.
12x + 25 = 10x + 35
- 10x
2x + 25 = 35
- 25
2x = 10
÷ 2
x = 5

Now that we know what x is, we can substitute it in and get 10(5) + 35 = 50 + 35 = 85.
I hope this helps!
