Perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal
so slope of new line = - 4
passes through (-2, -6) in point-slope form
y + 6 = -4(x + 2)
Answer is C. y + 6 = -4 (x + 2)
So it wants you to write two equations, one for the number of fruit and another for the money spent. gather your important information first:
20 fruits for $11.50
apples cost $0.50
bananas cost $0.75
let's do the cost equation first. it's $0.50 per apple, so 0.50a, and $0.75 per banana, so 0.75b. the total cost is $11.50. put all of this information together:
0.50a + 0.75b = 11.50 ... so, the cost of apples bought plus the cost of bananas bought equals 11.50
note what your variables stand for. a represents the number of apples, b represents the number of bananas. to write an equation for how many fruits bought, you simply have to add these two and set them equal to 20 (the total number of fruits bought).
a + b = 20
and your other equation
0.50a + 0.75b = 11.50
these are your two equations. to solve the system of equations, you first want to get one variable alone; the first equation will be easier.
a + b = 20
a = 20 - b
now take this equation and plug it into the second equation.
0.50(20 - b) + 0.75b = 11.50 ... you'll notice that you only have one variable left: b. solve for it. the first step is to distribute 0.50 to the parentheses
10 - 0.50b + 0.75b = 11.50 ... combine like terms
10 + 0.25b = 11.50 ... subtract 10
0.25b = 1.5 ... divide by 0.25
b = 6
6 bananas were purchased. plug this back into an equation to find out how many apples were purchased.
a + 6 = 20 ... subtract 6
a = 14
14 apples and 6 bananas were bought.
Answer:
165 combinations possible
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a combination problem as opposed to a permutation, because the order in which we fill these positions is not important. We are merely looking for how many ways each of these 11 people can be rearranged and matched up with different candidates, each in a different position each time. The formula can be filled in as follows:
₁₁C₃ = 
which simplifies to
₁₁C₃ = 
The factorial of 8 will cancel out in the numerator and the denominator, leaving you with
₁₁C₃ = 
which is 165
Answer:
196
Step-by-step explanation:
7 * 14 = 98
7 * 14 = 98
98 + 98 = 196
