Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

move x to the right making the equation 5y=-9x-1 then divide both sides by 5 to get y= -9/5x-1/5. the slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope from the og eq. so the slope of the new line is 5/9x and the y-intercept stays the same so the equation should be y=5/9x-1/5

A farmer sells 8.9 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market. 3 /4 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears. H

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: 2.225 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that:

- The total weight the farmer sold was 8.9 kilograms.

- 3/4 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears.

Therefore, to calculate the amount of kilograms of pears she sold at the farmer's market (which you can call x), you need to apply the following proccedure.

Thefore, you obtain the following result:

$x=8.9kg-(8.9kg*\frac{3}{4})\\x=2.225kg$
