Answer:
slope = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 19x + 57 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 19
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
← slope of line w
$45x +$50y =$2,500
Since you want to know how many men's shoes he must sell to make $2500 , plug 0 in for x pairs of women's shoes.
$45(0) + $50y =$2,500
0 + $50y =$2,500
$50y = $2,500
$50y/50= $2,500/$50
y = 50
He must sell 50 pairs of men's shoes to still earn his weekly income of $2,500
Check
$45(0) + $50(50) = $2,500
$0 + $2500= $2,500
$2500 = $2500
To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y.
x-intercept: (−13/2,0)(-132,0)
y-intercept: (0,26)
