of 11 people took the trip. She was able to purchase coach tickets for $210 and first class tickets for $1200. She used her total budget for airfare for the trip, which was $10,230. How many first class tickets did she buy? How many coach tickets did she buy?

You can set up a system of equations for this problem. x= number of coach tickets and y = number of first class tickets.

$210x + $1200y = $10,230 (cost of coach ticket plus cost of first class tickets is total budget)

x + y = 11 (number of coach tickets plus number of first class tickets is total number of people)

Solve the second equation for y to get y = 11 - x, then plug that into the first equation and solve for x:

$210x + $1200(11 - x) = $10,230

$210x + $13,200 - $1200x = $10,230

-$990x + $13,200 = $10,230

-$990x = $2,970

x = 3


Sarah bought x = 3 coach tickets. Plug that into the second equation and solve for y:

3 + y = 11

y = 8


Sarah bought y = 8 first class tickets.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (6,0) and is perpendicular to the line 3x+4y=20
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 4/3x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we first have to find the slope of the original line. We do this by solving for y.

3x + 4y = 20

4y = -3x + 20

y = -3/4x + 5

Now that we have the slope of -3/4 we can find the perpendicular slope. The perpendicular slope of any time is the opposite and reciprocal slope. So we flip -3/4 to get -4/3 and then we make it positive (4/3). Now that we have our new slope, we can input it along with the point into point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = 4/3(x - 6)

y = 4/3x - 8

Write the equation of a vertical line that passes through the point (–4, 4).
FinnZ [79.3K]
The question asks for a vertical line, and if it is vertical, it cannot be y = ... because that is horizontal. We also know it passes through the x-coordinate of -4, so the answer is x = -4.
