Answer:

Ground Chicory = 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain = 5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph would like to make 12 pounds of a coffee blend at a cost of $6.25 per pound.

Total cost of 12 pounds of coffee blend = 6.25 × 12 = $75

Ground Chicory = $4.40 per pound

Jamaican Blue Mountain = $8.84 per pound

Total weight of coffee blend = 12 pounds

Total amount of coffee blend = $75

Let the weight of Chicory be 'x'

The weight of Blue mountain be (12 - x)

75 = 4.40x + 8.84(12-x)

75 = 4.40x + 106.08 + - 8.84x

75 = (4.40x +-8.84x) + 106.08

75 = - 4.44x + 106.08

-4.44x = 75 - 106.08

-4.44x = -31.08

x = 7 pounds

and (12 - x) = 12 - 7 = 5 pounds

Therefore, Ground Chicory would be used 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain would be used 5 pounds.

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of a line segment whose end points are (-3,9) and (-1,5)
timofeeve [1]

First find the equation of y.

y=mx+n=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}x+n

Find the slope m.

m=\frac{5-9}{-1-3}=\frac{-4}{-4}=1.

Pick one point, I'll pick (-3, 9). Insert coordinates in equation then compute n.

9=1(-3)+n\implies n=12.

The equation of a line y is:

y=x+12.

The perpendicular line y_{\perp} is same like the normal line except its slope m becomes:

k=-\frac{1}{m}=-1.

The equation of a perpendicular bisector is thus:

y_{\perp}=-x+12.

Hope this helps.
