Answer:

B - y = 2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find slope

2x + 4y = 6

4y = -2x + 6

Make y the subject of the formula

y =( -2x + 6)/4

We can separate to get the slope

y = -2x/4 + 6/4

y = -x/2 + 3/2

Slope m = -1/2

Step 2: using a point slope form equation

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

Note: if two lines are perpendicular to the other, it is always a negative reciprocal of each other

ie m = 2

Substitute m into the equation

y - y1 = 2(x - x1)

Step 3: sub the point

( 6 , 4)

x1 = 6

y1 = 4

y - 4 = 2( x - 6)

Step 4 : using a slope intercept form equation

Open the bracket

y - 4 = 2x - 12

y = 2x - 12 + 4

y = 2x - 8

The equation of a line is

y = 2x - 8

Bill and Mary Ann went to the Viola bakery. Bill bought 5 pies and 7 donuts for ​$12.65. Mary Ann bought 6 of each for ​$12.30.
sweet [91]

Answer:

Pies=$0.85

Donuts= $1.20

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation let p stand for the number of pies and d stand for the number of donuts.

To solve this set up 2 equations, one representing bill and the other representing Mary Ann.

  • Bill's equation is 5p+7d=$12.65.
  • Mary Ann's equation is 6p+6d=$12.30

Then solve using a system of equations. Systems of equations can be solved using elimination or substitution. I will use substitution. Solve bill's equation for p. This gives you p=\frac{12.65-7d}{5}. Then, you can substitute that into Mary Ann's equation. This looks like 6\cdot \frac{12.65-7d}{5}+6d=12.3. Solve for d. Once you solve d=1.20. Finally, substitute 1.20 back into either Bill's or Mary Ann's for d and solve for p. No matter which equation you use p=0.85.
