A line passes through the points (p, a) and (p, –a) where p and a are real numbers. If p=0, what is the y-intercept? Explain your reasoning. 

<span>p - as "x" never changes with the value of "y", so no matter what y is, x is always "p", so when y is 0, x = p </span>

<span>slope of the line </span>
<span>change in y over the change in x </span>
<span>(-a - a) / (p - p) = infinity - or a vertical line </span>
<span>equation of the line </span>
<span>y = p </span>
<span>slope of a line perpendicular to the given line </span>
<span>inverse of the orig slope or (p - p)/(-a - a) = 0</span>

Jane is planting a mixture of flowers. For every ounce of Marigold seeds she uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds how many ounce
dusya [7]

Answer:

\frac{5}{2} ounces of marigold seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jane uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds for every ounce of Marigold seeds. We are asked to find the ounces of Marigold seeds, which Jane will use, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.  

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.  

\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{5}}

Let us simplify our proportion as shown below:

\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{1\cdot 5}{2}

\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{5}{2}

Since Jane used 1 pounce of lupine seeds, so we will substitute this value in our proportion as:

\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{1}=\frac{5}{2}

\text{Marigold seeds}}=\frac{5}{2}

Therefore, Jane will use \frac{5}{2} ounces of marigold seeds, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.
