Answer:

About $0.10 per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

12 pound costs $18.75. Lets find the cost per pound first:

Cost Per Pound = $\frac{18.75}{12}=1.5625$

We know, there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

We know 1 pound costs 1.5625

To find cost per ounce, we have to divide this by 16.

So,

Cost Per Ounce = $\frac{1.5625}{16}=0.097$

Rounded to nearest cent, that would be 10 cents per ounce

Line L passes through the points (0, --3) and (6,9).<br> (a) Find the equation of line L.

valentina_108 [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are :

$(0,\:-3)=(x_1,\:y_1) \:\&\: (6,\:9)=(x_2 ,\:y_2)$

Equation of line in two point form is given as:

$\frac{y -y_1 }{y_1 -y_2 } = \frac{x -x_1 }{x_1 -x_2 } \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y -( - 3)}{ -3 -9 } = \frac{x -0 }{0 -6 } \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y + 3}{ -12} = \frac{x }{ -6 } \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y + 3}{ 2} = \frac{x }{1} \\ \\ \therefore \: y + 3 = 2x \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: 2x - y - 3 = 0}} \\ is \: the \: required \: equation \: of \: line.$

If the coordinates of point A are (8 , 0) and the coordinates of point B are (3 , 7), the y-intercept of AB is ___

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

a) y-intercept of AB is 56/5

b) equation of line CD is:

y = -7/5x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If the coordinates of point A are (8 , 0) and the coordinates of point B are (3 , 7), the y-intercept of AB is ___

We are given the points A(8,0) and point B (3,7)

We need to find y-intercept i.e b

Finding slope of points A and B = y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

=7-0/3-8

=7/-5

= - 7/5

So, finding y intercept b by using equation

y = mx+b

And considering point A (8,0) x = 8 and y = 0 and m = -7/5

0 = 8(-7/5) + b

0 = -56/5 + b

=> b = 56/5

So, y-intercept of AB is 56/5

b) If the coordinates of point D are (5 , 5), the equation of line CD is y = __

Since AB || CD

both will have same slope

i.e m = -7/5

we need to find y-intercept given point D (5,5)

y = mx+b

5 = -7/5(5)+b

5 = -7 + b

=> b = 5+7

=> b = 12

So, equation of line CD is:

y = -7/5x + 12
