Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

x + 2y = 4

2y = - x + 4

y = -x/2 + 4/2

y = - x/2 + 2

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/2

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 2, 1) is 2

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 2 and y = 1 into y = mx + c. It becomes

1 = 2 × - 2 + c = - 4 + c

c = 1 + 4 = 5

The equation becomes

y = 2x + 5

Una empresa exportadora de frutas vende dos variedades de frambuesas: estándar y de lujo. Una caja de freses estándar se vende e
aksik [14]

Answer:

83.33 cajas estándar de frambuesas y 51.67 cajas de lujo de frambuesas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Representemos el número de cajas como

A = caja estándar de frambuesas

B = caja de lujo de frambuesas

Caja estándar de frambuesas = $ 7 Caja de lujo de frambuesas = 10.

A + B = 135 ......... Ecuación 1

B = 135 - A

7A + 10B = 1100 ........... Ecuación 2

Sustituir

135 - A para B en la ecuación 2

7A + 10 (135 - A) = 1100

7A + 1350 -10A = 1100

7A - 10A = 1100-1350

-3A = - 250

A = 250/3

A = 83.33 cajas

Sustituye 83.33 por A en la ecuación 1

A + B = 135

83,33 + B = 135

B = 135 - 83.33 = 51.67 cajas

Por lo tanto, vendió,

83.33 cajas estándar de frambuesas y 51.67 cajas de lujo de frambuesas.
