Answer:

  • b = -3 or b = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the perpendicular lines have negative-reciprocal slopes.

In other words, their product is - 1.

<u>Find the slopes of AB and AC:</u>

  • m(AB) = (5 - b)/(5 - 2) = (5 - b) / 3
  • m(AC) = (0 - b)/(- 6 - 2) = - b / - 8 = b/8

<u>Find the the product of slopes and solve for b:</u>

  • (5 - b)/3 * b/8 = - 1
  • b(b - 5)/24 = 1
  • b(b - 5) = 24
  • b² - 5b - 24 = 0
  • b² - 8b + 3b - 24 = 0
  • b(b - 8) + 3(b - 8) = 0
  • (b + 3)(b - 8) = 0
  • b = - 3 or b = 8

Jesse bought 10 more pencils than erasers. A pencil costs $0.15 and an eraser costs $0.22. He paid a total of $4.46. How many er
VARVARA [1.3K]

“Jesse bought 10 more pencils than erasers”       means    P = 10 + E

 “A pencil costs $0.15”   means that     $0.15*P was spent on pencils

 “an eraser costs $.22”    means that    $0.22*E was spent on erasers

 “He paid a total of $4.46”    means that   $0.15*P + $0.22*E = $4.46

15*(10+E)   +   22*E    =   446

                       150 + 37E = 446

                          37E = 296

                              E = 8   Jesse bought 8 erasers
