Find the equation of the first line using the two given points: (1,-1) (-1,-5)
Slope = change in Y over change in x:
Slope = (-5-(-1)) / (-1-(1) = -4/-2 = 2
Now find y intercept: y - y1 = m(x-x1) = y -(-1) = 2(x-1)
Simplify to get y = 2x-3
Now a perpendicular line has a opposite reciprocal slope.
The perpendicular line would be y = -1/2x - 3
You are told the y intercept is -4 units greater, so add -4 to -3 to get -7
The answer would be A. y = -1/2x-7
No because when you cross multiply 9/24 has a bigger number
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference in the cost per pound is $6.
For 12 lb, the total difference in $6 × 12 = $72.
If the Fresh Market is close enough and you have the time, it is worth the drive since you will save $72.
