Answer:
m=3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
first, let's put the line 4x+3y=9 from standard form (ax+by=c) into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
we have the equation 4x+3y=9
subtract 4x from both sides
3y=-4x+9
divide by 3
y=-4/3x+3
perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative and reciprocal. If the slopes are multiplied together, the result is -1
so to find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=-4/3x+3, we can take the slope of y=-4/3x+3 (-4/3) multiply it by a variable (this is our unknown value), and have that set to -1
(m is the slope value)
-4/3m=-1
multiply by -3/4
m=3/4
therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 3/4
hope this helps!! :)
What are the numbers that are supposed to be plugged in?
The constant of proportionality is 3.50 since gummy worms are sold at the same rate per pound.
3.50x, equation
3.50(2.5) = $8.75 for 2.5 pounds
