Sean decides to start a small business creating and selling outdoor yard games. It will cost Sean $50 to make each game as well as an initial cost of $300 to purchase the needed equipment and supplies. He plans to sell each game for $85,

The system of equations below models the cost and revenue for Sean's outdoor yard games where x represents the number of games and y

represents the amount, in dollars.

y = 50x + 300

y = 85

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
