Rusty co. sells two products, x and y. last year, rusty sold 5,000 units of x and 35,000 units of y. related data are: unit selling unit variable unit contribution product price cost margin x $110.00 $70.00 $40.00 y 70.00 50.00 20.00 what was rusty co.'s sales mix last year? a. 60% x, 40% y b. 30% x, 70% y c. 12.5% x, 87.5% y d. 58% x, 42% y

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)

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )
