This is going to be an long answer, so I'm putting the answer first. y=3x-7

First, you have to find the equation of the line given. You can use point slope form for that. You can see that the slope is -1/3, and it goes through (2,2). So, the equation would be
y-2=-1/3(x-2)
Which simplifies to
y=-1/3x+8/3

Now, we can get on to finding the actual answer. The slope of a line perpendicular would be the negative reciprocal of the original slope. That just means you flip it and multiply it by -1. So, the slope of the new line is 3. Now you can use point slope form again and make an equation, which is
y+1=3(x-2)
Which simplifies to
y=3x-7

Please don't ask me why the slope is the negative reciprocal, or how they came up with the formula for the point slope form. I DON'T KNOW. If you want to know so bad you would give up chick-fil-A for the rest of your life, there's always google.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

%P = 8%

the percentage of fat in the mixture is 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The percentage of fat in the mixture is;

%P = total mass of fat in mixture/total mass of mixture × 100%

%P = F/T × 100% ….....1

Mass of fat in mixture is;

She purchases 5 pounds of ground beef which is 15% fat

F1 = 15% of 5 pounds = 0.15×5 pounds

F1 = 0.75 pound

and combines it with 7 pounds of ground turkey which is only 3% fat

F2 = 3% of 7 pounds = 0.03 × 7

F2 = 0.21 pound

Total mass F = F1 + F2

F = 0.75+0.21

F = 0.96 pound

Total mass of mixture T = 5 + 7 pounds

T = 12 pounds.

From equation 1,

%P = F/T × 100%

%P = 0.96/12 × 100%

%P = 0.08×100%

%P = 8%

the percentage of fat in the mixture is 8%

TEA [102]

we know that

total of sum of arc is 360

so, sum of both arc must be 360

so, we get

90+x=360

now, we can solve for x

90+x-90=360-90

x=270............Answer

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>r = -</em>\frac{6a}{1-5m^2}<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Rewrite the equation as </em>\sqrt{x} 6a+r/5r<em>  = m</em>

<em>Remove the radical on the left side of the equation by squaring both sides of the equation.</em>

<em>(</em>\sqrt{\frac{6a+r}{5r} )^{2}<em> = m^2</em>

<em>Then, you simplify each of the equation. </em>

<em>Rewrite: (</em>\sqrt{\frac{6a+r}{5r} )^{2}<em> as </em>\frac{6a+r}{5r} = m^{2}<em />

<em>Remove any parentheses if needed.</em>

<em>Solve for r. </em>

<em>Multiply each term by r and simplify."</em>

<em>Multiply both sides of the equation by  5.</em>

<em>6a+r= m^2r⋅(5)</em>

<em>Remove parentheses.</em>

<em>Move 5   to the left of (m ^2)  r </em>

<em>6a+r=5m^2)r</em>

<em>Subtract  5m^2)r  from both sides of the equation.</em>

<em>6a+r-5m^2)r=0</em>

<em>Subtract  6a  from both sides of the equation.</em>

<em>r-5m^2)r=-6a</em>

<em>Factor  r out of  r-5m^2)r  </em>

<em>r(1-5m^2)=-6a</em>

Divide each term by 1-5m^2 and simplify.

r = - \frac{6a}{1-5m^2}

There you go, hope this helps!
