The customer can purchase 1.19788 pounds of cheese (approximately 1.2 pounds).

<h3>How much cheese can she purchase?</h3>

We are given with the cost of ham is $2.49 per pound and

Cost of swiss cheese is $3.79 per pound.

So, the cost of 2 pounds of ham will be given as-

= 2× $2.49

= $4.98

Since, the customer has a total of  $9.50 to spend on 2 pounds of ham and some cheese,

∴ Let the number of pounds of cheese she can purchase be x.

Then the equation will be this:

2.49*2 + 3.79*x = 9.50

4.98 + 3.79x = 9.50

Subtracting 4.98 from each side we get-

4.98 -4.98 + 3.79x = 9.50-4.98

3.79x = 4.54

x  =\frac{4.54}{3.79}

x = 1.19788 pounds of cheese (approximately 1.2 pounds).

Hence, the customer can purchase 1.19788 pounds of cheese (approximately 1.2 pounds).

Rectangle KLMN is graphed on the coordinate plane below. On a coordinate plane, rectangle K L M N has points (2, negative 2), (5
gladu [14]

Answer:  The correct option is (A) (2, -2).

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that rectangle with vertices at K, L, M and N is graphed on the coordinate plane as shown in the figure.The figure is rotated 360° counterclockwise using the origin as the center of rotation.

We are to find the location of the image of point K after the rotation.

We know that

a rotation of 360° in counterclockwise direction about the origin map a point to itself. That is, the co-ordinates of the image point will be same as the original one.

From the figure, we see that the co-ordinates of point K are (2, -2).

Therefore, after rotation of 360° counterclockwise using the origin as the center of rotation,

the co-ordinates of the image of point K will also be (2, -2).

Thus, the location of the image of point K is (2, -2).

Option (A) is CORRECT.
