Since our line is perpendicular to this line, the slope of
our line is the negative reciprocal of 1/4, which is -4/1.
Remember, negative reciprocal is just a fancy way
of saying flip the fraction and change the sign.
So the slope of our line is -4/1 and we use this slope along
with our given point to write the equation of our line.
Start with the point-slope formula.
Y - y1 = m(x - x1).
~Substitute
Y - -2 = -4/1(x - 5).
Minus a negative is plus a positive.
Y + 2 = -4/1x + 20.
Subtract 2 from both sides.
Y = -4/1x + 18
So, our answer is C.
Answer:
Every gallon costs $4.20
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide the money he spent and the gallons he needed, you come up with a total price of $4.20 a gallon. For the amounts of gallons he could get with $40 bucks, he would have 9.5 gallons, as you just need to divide 40 by 4.2. I hope this helps :)
