It's easier to work with problems such as –2.1x + 3.7 -5 + 4.9x when we rearrange the like terms vertically:
–2.1x + 3.7 -5 + 4.9x
becomes
–2.1x + 3.7
+4.9x -5

2.8x - 1.3 (answer)
First find the equation of y.
Find the slope m.
.
Pick one point, I'll pick (-3, 9). Insert coordinates in equation then compute n.
.
The equation of a line y is:
.
The perpendicular line 
is same like the normal line except its slope m becomes:
.
The equation of a perpendicular bisector is thus:
.
Hope this helps.
<span>Cost of maple syrup = $6.00 a Gallon
Cost of corn syrup = 0.80 cents a Gallon
Cost of the syrup mixture = $2.36 a Gallon
There is mixture of 50 Gallons
Lets maple syrup be x gallons, so corn syrup be 50-x gallons
Hence,
6*x + 0.80(50-x) = 2.36*50
6x + 40 - 0.8x = 118
5.2x = 78
=> x = 78/5.2 => x = 15
So Maple will be syrup be 15 gallons.
Corn syrup will be 35 gallons.</span>
