6 0

Answer is -7/2

Gradient or slope is found by change in y over change in x.
Or
(y2 - y1) over (x2 - x1)

So
(-2 -5) over (4-2)
= -7/2

Juan bought fruit from the grocery store. The variables below define his purchase. Juan’s bananas cost half as much as apples. W

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

$B = \frac{1}{2}A$

$A = 2B$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent apple with A and Banana with B

Required

Determine the relationship between A and B

From the question, we understand that:

B costs half as much as A

This can be represented as:

$B = \frac{1}{2} * A$

$B = \frac{1}{2}A$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2*B = \frac{1}{2}A*2$

$2B = A$

$A = 2B$
