To find the slope of the line, first find the slope of 3x + y = 5, and then its opposite reciprocal.

3x + y = 5
y = -3x + 5
the slope of 3x + y = 5 is -3.

the slope is -3, so the opposite reciprocal slope is 1/3.

the equation of any line is y = ax + b
to find this line, y = 3, x = -9, and the slope is 1/3.

3 = -9a + b
3 = -9 (1/3) + b
3 = -3 +b
b = 6

substitute a and b into the equation
y = ax + b
y = 1/3x + 6

the equation of the line is y = 1/3x + 6.

A supermarket had bags of grapes for $20.72 for 7. They also had bags of green grapes priced at 8.46 for 3. Which type of grapes
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The grapes are more expensive than the green grapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

GRAPES: If you divide $20.72 by 7, to get one bag of grapes instead of seven, you get $2.96/bag.

GREEN GRAPES: If you divide $8.46 by 3, to get one bag of green grapes instead of three, you get $2.82/bag.

$2.82 is less than $2.96, therefore, the grapes are more expensive than the green grapes.

What is the area of this figure?​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area.
