Answer:

y = (1/2)x + 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation, y = -2x+2, is given; its slope is -2.  We are to find the equation of a line which is perpendicular to this given line; the slope of the perpendicular has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of that of the given line.  Thus, the slope of the perpendicular is                

                                                                        -1

                                                           m = -------------- = +1/2.

                                                                        -2

This perpendicular is to pass through (-5,-2).  Plugging these x- and y-coordinates and the slope m = 1/2 into the point-slope formula for a straight line, we get:

y-[-2] = (1/2)(x-[-5]), or y + 2 = (1/2)(x + 5).

This is the correct answer.  If, however, you want this equation in slope-intercept form, do the following:

Mult. all three terms of y + 2 = (1/2)(x + 5 by 2 to eliminate the fraction 1/2:

2y + 4 = x + 5.  Solve this for y:  Subtract 4 from both sides, obtaining:

2y = x + 1.  Finally, multiply all terms by 1/2:  y = (1/2)x + 1/2

There will be 10 pounds of flour put evenly into 7 sacks. How many pounds of flour will be in each sack?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

1.429 lbs per sack

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 10 lbs of flour needs to be divided evenly into 7 sacks

amount of flour in each sack,

= 10 lbs ÷ 7 sacks

= 10/7 lbs per sack

= 1.429 lbs per sack

Functions A,B and C are linear functions. Some values of function A are shown in the table. Function B has y-intercept of (3,0)
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

In order of increasing slope:

B: y = 0

A: y = 2x-3

C: y = 3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

(3,3), (5,7), and (6,9) are points on line A.

Use the coordinates of two of the points to find the slope of A.

Δy =7-9 = -2

Δx =5-6 = -1

Slope = Δy/Δx = 2

Equation for line of slope 2 that passes through (3,3):

y-3 = 2(x-3)

y = 2x-3

(3,0) and (5,0) are points on line B. They are horizontally aligned, so the equation for line B is y=0. Slope = 0.

You were given the equation for C: y = 3x+1. Slope = 3

In order of increasing slope:

B: y = 0

A: y = 2x-3

C: y = 3x+1
