Answer: $8.95 per yard of fabric
Step-by-step explanation:
Define the following:
x = cost of fabric per yard
Make an equation:
⇒ 3x + 1.25 = 28.10
⇒ 3x = 26.85
⇒ x = 8.95
∴ $8.95 per yard of fabric
Answer:
I got (1,2).
Step-by-step explanation:
Process of elimination:
Multiply the second equation by 3 to get same terms, subtract and solve for Y to get 2.
Plug 2 into second equation for Y to get x=1
(1,2)
The answer is 4/3 and I checked two times
We have a line y = 1/3x -6
We want a line that is perpendicular to this line
Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
1/3 * m = -1
3 * 1/3 *m = -1 * 3
m = -3
The slope of the perpendicular line is -3
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -3x+b
We have a point on the line ( 7 ,-23)
Substitute this point into the equation
-23 = -3(7)+b
-23 = -21+b
Add 21 to each side
-23+21 = -21+21+b
-2 = b
y = -3x-2
In slope intercept form, the line perpendicular passing through (7,-23) is
y = -3x-2
