Given the equation y=-2x+4, we can easily find the slope of the perpendicular line by calculating the inverse negative of the slope. This is:

\begin{gathered} y=-2x+4 \\ m=-2 \\ m_p=-\frac{1}{m} \\ \Rightarrow m_p=-\frac{1}{-2}=\frac{1}{2} \\ m_p=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Now that we have the slope, we can ouse the equation slope-intercept to find the intercept b using the point (-3,-2):

\begin{gathered} m_p=\frac{1}{2} \\ (x,y)=(-3,-2) \\ y=mx+b \\ \Rightarrow-2=\frac{1}{2}(-3)+b \\ \Rightarrow-2+\frac{3}{2}=b \\ \Rightarrow b=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form is:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

A bag contains 15 cups of sugar if 3/4 of a cup is needed for each batch of cookies what's the greatest number of batches of coo
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

20 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of sugar in a bag = 15

Cups of sugar per batch of cookie = 3/4 cup

Cups of sugar per batch of cookie : batch of cookies = 3/4 : 1

what's the greatest number of batches of cookies that can be made with the bag of sugar

Let

x = batches of cookies made with a bag of sugar

Cups of sugar per batch of cookie : batch of cookies = 15 : x

Equate the ratios

3/4 : 1 = 15 : x

3/4 ÷ 1 = 15/x

3/4 × 1/1 = 15/x

3/4 = 15/x

Cross product

3 * x = 4 * 15

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

x = batches of cookies made with a bag of sugar = 20 batches
