Part a: rhett made $250 washing cars with his mobile car wash company. he charges $70 per car and earned $50 in tips. write an equation to represent this situation. (4 points)

part b: scarlett made a profit of $250.00 with her mobile car wash company. she charged $75.00 per car wash and received $35.00 in tips, but also had to pay $5.00 in cleaning supplies per car wash. write an equation to represent this situation. (4 points)

part c: explain how the equations from part a and part b differ. (2 points)

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)
