Given:
One time payment, <em>p </em>= $300
Payment per month, <em>q = </em>$65
Number of months paid, <em>n</em> = 5
The objectiv is to find the amount she paid in 5 months.
Let <em>x </em>be the amount she paid in 5 months. Then the the formula is,

Let's substitute the values.

Hence, total amount paid in 5 months is $625.

3x - 2y = 13
-2y = -3x + 13
y = 3/2x - 13/2...slope is 3/2, y int is -13/2
2x + 3y = -16
3y = -2x - 16
y = -2/3x - 16/3...slope = -2/3, y int is -16/3
perpendicular lines will have negative reciprocal slopes. To find the negative reciprocal of a number, flip the number and change the sign.
On the 1st equation, the slope was 3/2....find its negative reciprocal.....flip it, making it 2/3....change the sign...making it -2/3. So the negative reciprocal of 3/2 is -2/3.
So if one equation has a slope of 3/2 and another equation has a slope of -2/3, then these lines are perpendicular <==
