12 apples = 15% of the total apples.

Find 1% by dividing 12 by 15:

12/15=0.8

Find 100% of the number of apples by multiplying 0.8 by 100:

0.8*100=80

There are 80 apples in the crate.

12/80
=15 percent

There are 80 apples in the crate

Do 12 divided by 15 then multiply by 100 = 80

Which equation represents a line perpendicular to the line shown on the graph?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

See description below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To choose the correct equation, find the slope of the line on the graph. Identify two points on the line. Then subtract to find their rate of change using the slope formula.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

When you know the slope, find the negative reciprocal. For example, if the slope is 2/1 then the negative reciprocal is -1/2. This is the slope of a perpendicular line to a line with slope 2. Choose the equation which has this same slope.

Example:

y = 2x -1

y= -1/2 +5

For the function f(x)=x2−24÷3+12 f(1) f(0) f(−1)

LuckyWell [14K]

Put the values of x to the equation of the function.

$f(x)=\dfrac{x^2-24}{3}+12$

$f(1)=\dfrac{1^2-24}{3}+12=\dfrac{1-24}{3}+12=\dfrac{-23}{3}+12=-7\dfrac{2}{3}+12=4\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\f(0)=\dfrac{0^2-24}{3}+12=\dfrac{-24}{3}+12=-8+12=4\\\\f(-1)=\dfrac{(-1)^2-24}{3}+12=\dfrac{1-24}{3}+12=\dfrac{-23}{3}+12=-7\dfrac{2}{3}+12=4\dfrac{1}{3}$
