Weight of an grapefruit=weight of an orange+8% weight of an orange
weight of an apple=weight of an orange -10% weight of an orange

a.<span>By what percentage is the grapefruit heavier than the apple?
We should find the connection between grapefruit and an apple. We know the connection between the weight of a grapefruit and an orange, we know the connection between an orange and an apple, so this means we know the connection between a grapefruit and an apple.
</span>
weight of an grapefruit=weight of an <span>orange+8% weight of an orange
</span>weight of an orange=weight of an apple<span> +10% weight of an apple
</span>
-> weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple + 8%(weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple)= weight of an apple + 18% weight of an apple + 2% weight of an apple= <span>weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple 

</span><span>b.By what percentage is the apple lighter than the grapefruit?
</span>weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple<span> 
</span>
-> The apple ts 20% lighter than the grapefruit.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point (-8, 2) and is perpendicular to the line y
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

y = -5x/4 - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

Since the slope of the given line is 4/5, the opposite reciprocal of that is -5/4. So the equation has a slope of -5/4.

Since we know the coordinate of a point of the other equation, we can plug that into the point-slope form equation y - y1 = m(x - x1):

y - 2 = -5/4(x-(-8))

Simplify:

y - 2 = -5/4(x+8)

y - 2 = -5x/4 - 10

So the equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = -5x/4 - 8
