Y = -3/2x + 4...slope is -3/2
A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So that means the slope we will need is 2/3...see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign.
Now we use y = mx + b....slope(m) = 2/3....(3,9)...x = 3 and y = 9.
Time to sub...we r looking for b, the y intercept.

9 = 2/3(3) + b
9 = 2 + b
9 - 2 = b
7 = b 

so the perpendicular equation is : y = 2/3x + 7...but we need it in Ax + By = C form....
y = 2/3x + 7....multiply by common denominator of 3 to get rid of fractions
3y = 2x + 21...subtract 2x from both sides
-2x + 3y = 21....<== ur answer...normally, I would have multiplied this by -1 to make x positive...but that is not an answer choice

Answer:

(a) 142 km trip requires 15.16 Liters of Gasoline

(b) The money spent is 69.34 euros or $87.37.

(c) The average speed of sprinter is 34.45 km/h.

(d) 4 lb of candy contains 0.559 kg of dietary fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given that;

Mileage = 22 mi/gal

Converting it to km/L

Mileage = (22 mi/gal)(1 gal/3.78 L)(1 km/0.6214 mi)

Mileage = 9.36 km/L

Now, the gasoline required for 142 km trip:

Gasoline Required = (Length of trip)/(Mileage)

Gasoline Required = (142 km)/(9.36 km/L)

<u>Gasoline Required = 15.16 L</u>

(b)

Given that;

Mileage = 30 mi/gal

Converting it to km/L

Mileage = (30 mi/gal)(1 gal/3.78 L)(1 km/0.6214 mi)

Mileage = 12.77 km/L

Now, the gasoline required for 142 km trip:

Gasoline Required = (Length of trip)/(Mileage)

Gasoline Required = (115 km/day)(7 days/week)/(12.77 km/L)

Gasoline Required = 63 L/week

Now, we find the cost:

Weekly Cost = (Gasoline Required)(Unit Cost)

Weekly Cost = (63 L/week)(1.1 euros/L)

<u>Weekly Cost = 69.34 euros/week = $87.37</u>

since, 1 euro = $1.26

(c)

Average Speed = (Distance Travelled)/(Time Taken)

Average Speed = 200 m/20.9 s

Average Speed = (9.57 m/s)(3600 s/1 h)(1  km/ 1000 m)

<u>Average Speed = 34.45 km/h</u>

(d)

22.7 g piece contains = 7 g dietary fat

(22.7 g)(1 lb/453.592 g) piece contains = (7 g)(1 kg/1000 g) dietary fat

0.05 lb piece contains = 0.007 kg dietary fat

1 lb piece contains = (0.007/0.05) kg dietary fat

4 lb piece contains = 4(0.007/0.05) kg dietary fat

<u>4 lb piece contains = 0.559 kg dietary fat</u>

Plssss help with all thiss​
allsm [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

8, 12(3-x)=48

36-12x=48

-12x=48-36

-12x=12 both side divideos by -12

-12x/-12=12/-12

x= 1

9, x/7=4.5 cris cross

x=31.5

10,5(x-3)=45

5x-15=45

5x=45+15

5x=60 both side divided by 5

5x/5=60/5

x=12

11,-3(x-3)=45

-3x+3=45

-3x=45-3

-3x=42 both side divided by -3

-3x/-3=42/-3

x=14

12,14y-8=13

14y=13+8

14y=21 both side divided by 14

14y/14=21/14

y=1.5

13,3m=5m-8/5

3m-5m=-8/5

-2m=-8/5 cris cross

-10m=-8 both side divided by -10

-10m/-10=-8/-10

x=0.8
