Answer:

6 dollars per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up and solve an equation to answer this question. For this problem, let x stand for the amount he earned per hour. The equation that represents this situation is 3.2x + 4.3x = 45. The first term represents monday and the second represents tuesday. When these add up they should equal 45 because that is the total amount he made. To find his pay per hour, solve for x.

First, combine the like terms

  • 7.5x=45

Next, divide both sides by 7.5

  • x=6

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point  ( -1 , -2 )  and is perpendicular to the l
mamaluj [8]

The equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point  ( -1 , -2 )  and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5 is y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c ----- eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Given that the line that passes through the point  ( -1 , -2 )  and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

Given line is perpendicular to  − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

− 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

-3y = 4x - 5

3y = -4x + 5

y = \frac{-4x}{3} + \frac{5}{3}

On comparing the above equation with eqn 1, we get,

m = \frac{-4}{3}

We know that product of slope of a line and slope of line perpendicular to it is -1

\frac{-4}{3} \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to it}= -1\\\\\text{ slope of line perpendicular to it} = \frac{3}{4}

Given point is (-1, -2)

Now we have to find the equation of line passing through (-1, -2) with slope m = \frac{3}{4}

Substitute (x, y) = (-1, -2) and m = 3/4 in eqn 1

-2 = \frac{3}{4}(-1) + c\\\\-2 = \frac{-3}{4} + c\\\\c = - 2 + \frac{3}{4}\\\\c = \frac{-5}{4}

\text{ substitute } c = \frac{-5}{4} \text{ and } m = \frac{3}{4} \text{ in eqn 1}

y = \frac{3}{4} \times x + \frac{-5}{4}\\\\y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}

Thus the required equation of line is found

The slope of the line below is -5 which of the following is the point-slope form of the line (2,-8)
insens350 [35]
The point slope form has the following syntax.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
m = slope = -5 
y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)
(x,y) = (2,-8)
x_1 = 2
y_1 = -8
y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)
y - (-8) = -5(x - 2)
y + 8 = -5(x - 2)  <------Answer
