To get into an amusement park, people have to pay an entrance fee. Then they pay additional amount for each ride (every ride costs same amount of money). John rode 8 rides and spent a total of $32 (including the entrance fee). Michael
rode 11 rides and paid $41. How much was the entrance fee and the cost of each ride?

entrance fee: $8

cost of each ride: $3

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)
