On monday it took 5 builders to 3 1/2 hours to build a wall on tuesday an identical wall was built but only 2 builders were available
each builder is paid £9.30 for each hour or part of and hour they work
work out how much each builder will be paid for the work completed on tuesday

  £ 81.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: On Monday,

5 builders took hours  ( i.e. hours )  to build a wall.

On Tuesday, only 2 builders were available.

As workers are inversely proportional to the time if the job remains constant.

Inverse variation equation :

Let x be the time taken by 2 builders, then

So, 2 builders will take 8.75 hours.

Each paid  £9.30 for each hour.

Then, each builder will be paid for the work completed on Tuesday = £9.30 x  8.75

≈ £ 81.38

Hence, each builder will be paid £ 81.38 for the work completed on Tuesday .

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)
