let's recall that in a Kite the diagonals meet each other at 90° angles, Check the picture below, so we're looking for the equation of a line that's perpendicular to BD and that passes through (-1 , 3).
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of BD
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/3 and passes through point A

The answer is b.
This is because the line is sloping downwards, and so y = -1
x + 7 = 2(3x - 4) Remove the brackets
x + 7 = 2*3x - 4*2
x + 7 = 6x - 8 Subtract 7 from both sides.
x + 7 - 7 = 6x - 8 - 7
x = 6x - 15 Subtract 6x from both sides
x - 6x = - 15
-5x = - 15 Divide by -5
-5x/-5 = -15/-5
x = 3
Answer:
8 + 1.50x + 0.75y = 19.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of additional inch = x
Let the number of toppings = y
From the question,
A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8.
Each additional inch costs $1.50
Each additional topping costs $0.75.
The equation that represents Josh's pizza is when his total cost amounts to $19.25 is:
$8 + $1.50 × x + $0.75y = $19.25
8 + 1.50x + 0.75y = 19.25
2/8 is .25 as a decimal .
