Answer: The answer is 4.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that -
The number of cups of yogurt that Carol has to make smoothies is given by
and the number of cups of yogurt that each smoothies uses is given by
Let 'n' be the number of smoothies that Carol can make with the available yogurt, then we have
Thus, the maximum number of smoothies is 4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A line perpendicular to the given line has a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line.
Rewrite the given equation in the format of y=mx+b, where mi is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0.
2x + 3y = 4
3y=-2x+4
y = -(2/3)X + (4/3)
The reference slope is -(2/3). The negative inverse is (3/2), which will be the slope of a perpendicular line. We can write the new line as:
y = (3/2)x + b
Any value of b will still result in a line that is perpendicular. But we want a value of b that will shift the line so that it intersects the point (-3,-5). Simply enter this point in the above equation and solve for b.
y = (3/2)x + b
-5 = (3/2)(-3) + b
-5 = -(9/2) + b
-5 = -4.5 + b
b = - 0.5
The equation of the line that is perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 4 and includes point (-3,-5) is
y = (3/2)x - 0.5
