Slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
we are given the points (-2,7) and (x,2)
slope is -1/3
so
(x,y)
(-2,7) and (x,2)
x1=-2
y1=7
x2=x
y2=2

slope=(2-7)/(x-(-2))=-1/3
slope=(-5)/(x+2)=-1/3
multiply both sides by (-3)(x+2) (basically cross multiply)
15=x+2
minus 2 both sides
13=x
x=13
the value of x is 13

Mehvish buys 1/2 kg carrots, 3 kg potatoes, 2 kg onions and 1 1/2kg of chicken.

Answer:

The amount of change will be £7.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the amount of change that Mehvish should get

1/2 kg carrots at 50 p per kg will be;

1/2 * 50 = 25 p

3 kg potatoes at 64 p per kg will be

3 * 64 = p 192

2 kg onions at 42 p per kg

2 * 42 p = 84 p

1 1/2 kg chicken at £6 per kg will be:

since £1 is 100 p

1.5 * 6 = £9 (9 * 100 p = 900p)

since £1 is 100 p

£20 will be;

20 * 100 = 2,000 p

So let us make the subtraction as follows;

2,000- 900 - 84-192 - 25 = 799 p

In pounds, this is divided by 100

we have this as 799/100 = £7.99

Answer:

160 m²

384 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezium is given by :

A = 1/2(a + b)h

h = height ; a and b = lengths

From the diagram :

A = 1/2(12 + 20)10

A = 1/2(32)10

A = 16 * 10

A = 160 m²

2.)

Area of parallelogram = base * height

Base = 24 ; h = 16

A = 24 * 16

A = 384 m²
