Answer:

hey, there!

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is a point (-6,8) through which a line passes. And is perpendicular to the line y = 2x-4

The equation for point (-6,8) is,

(y-8)= m1(x+6)...........(i)

and given equation is y = 2x-4............(ii)

Now, from equation (ii).

slope (m2)= 2 { as equation (ii) is in the form of y= mx+c where m is a slope}.

Now, For perpendicular,

m1×m2= -1

m1×2= -1

Therefore, m1 = -1/2.

Putting, the value of m1 in equation (i).

(y-8) = -1/2×(x+6)

2(y-8)= -1(x+6)

2y - 16 = -x -6

x+2y-10 = 0......... is the required equation.

Hope it helps...

You have been averaging 55 sales per day. Per our new policy, everyone needs to increase his or her sales per day by 10% in the
Mariulka [41]
To find your new number of sales per month, you will need to find the number of sales you have per month (based on 30 days per month).  

55 x 20 = 1650 sales.

Than, you will need to calculate what 10% of this is and add it to your original sales number.

0.1 (10%) x 1650 = 165

1650 + 165 = 1815

You will need approximately 1815 sales based on the 30 day month.

A rectangle and a square have the same area. The width of the rectangle is 2 in less than the side of the square and the length
lina2011 [118]
The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.

W=S-2 and L=2S-3

And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.

S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:

S^2=(2S-3)(S-2)  perform indicated multiplication on right side

S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6  combine like terms on right side

S^2=2S^2-7S+6  subtract S^2 from both sides

S^2-7S+6=0  factor:

S^2-S-6S+6=0

S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0

(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:

S=6 is the only valid value for S.  Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...

W=S-2 and L=2S-3  given that S=6 in

W=4 in and L=9 in

So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.

A bike is bought for $1200 and sold 10 months later for $940.
Stolb23 [73]

Value

Depreciation is defined as the reduction in value of an asset over time. In this case, value reduction is due to wear and tear of an equipment (bicycle).

a. The depreciation value would simply be the difference in initial and salvage value divided by time in years.

Depreciation = (Initial value – Salvage value) / Number of years

b. Substituting the given values into the equation where:

Initial value = $1200

Salvage value = $940

Number of years = 10 months = 10/12 years

Calculating:

Depreciation = ($1200 - $940) / (10/12 years)

Depreciation = $312 / year

or

<span>Depreciation = $26 / month</span>
