keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\qquad \qquad y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{3}x-5

well then therefore

\stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{3\implies \cfrac{3}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with slope of -1/3 and that passes through (1, -3 )

(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-3)}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1})\implies y+3=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x+\cfrac{1}{3}-3\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{3}x-\cfrac{8}{3}

If fixed cost of 20 article is 500 and variable cost for each article is 40. Find the total cost function? Also ,find the total
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Cost function = 40a + 500

Cost of 90 articles = $4,100

Step-by-step explanation:

The fixed cost is $500 and it will.not change regardless of production level.

The Variable cost is $40 and increases by every additional unit produced.

Assume the number of articles produced is a.

Cost function would be:

Total cost = Variable cost * Number of articles + Fixed cost

TC = 40a + 500

Using this, the cost of 90 articles is:

= 40 * 90 + 500

= $4,100

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$480

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, you find how much he paid per hour which would be 80 * 5 = $400. Then, you have to add the tip in so you do $400 * 1.2 (or 120%) = $480.

Nick recently started a landscaping company. He began with 3 clients. Thanks to word-of-mouth referrals, his clients double each
pashok25 [27]
If Nick began with three clients, you would do basic math to get here.

January / 3
February / 3•2 = 6
March / 6•2 = 12
April / 12•2 = 24
May / 24•2 = 48
June / 48•2 = 96
July / 96•2 = 192
August / 192•2 = 384
September / 384•2 = 768
October / 768•2 = 1,536
November / 1,536•2 = 3,072
December / 3,072•2 = 6,144

Nick would start with 3 clients and end with 6,144 clients.
