Atransit company carries about 80 000 riders per day for a fare of $1.25. to obtain more revenue, the management plans to increase the fare. it estimates that for every 5 cent increase in fare, it will lose 1000 riders. what fare would result in the greatest revenue and what would the maximum revenue be?

answer: need picture of problem

step-by-step explanation:

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)
