Answer:

Question 1: y = 3/4x + 1/4.

Question 2: y = 6/5x + 7/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1: A line perpendicular to another line would have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the other line. If the slope of the first line is -4/3, the slope of a line perpendicular to the first would have a slope of 3/4.

Since the line goes through (5, 4), we can just put the points into the equation, y = 3/4x + b.

4 = 3/4(5) + b

b + 15/4 = 4

b = 16/4 - 15/4

b = 1/4

So, the equation of the line is y = 3/4x + 1/4.

Question 2: 5x + 6y = -6

6y = -5x - 6

y = -5/6x - 1

As stated before, a line perpendicular to another will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the other. So, the slope of the other line is 6/5.

The line goes through (-2, -1), so we can put the points into the equation, y = 6/5x + b.

-1 = 6/5(-2) + b

b - 12/5 = -5/5

b = -5/5 + 12/5

b = 7/5

So, the equation of the line is y = 6/5x + 7/5.

Hope this helps!

3 coffees and 4 donuts cost $10.05. In the same cafeteria, 5 coffees and 7 donuts cost $17.15. How much do you have to pay for 4
MakcuM [25]

Answer

You need to pay $14.20 to get 4 coffees and 6 donuts.

Explanation

Let's say that the price of one coffee and x and the price of one donut is y.

In the first instance, 3x+4y=10.05.

In the second instance, 5x+7y=17.15.

You can use these equations to find the value of a coffee and the value of a donut.

We can find x and y using elimination. To do this, you should add or subtract one equation from another to "get rid" of a variable (I'll "get rid" of x). We can't just add or subtract the equations right now, since that wouldn't lead to 0x.

Multiply the first equation by 5, and the second equation by 3. After this, both equations will have 15x. Make sure to multiply each term by 5 and 3.

15x+20y=50.25. This means that 15 coffees and 20 donuts is $50.25.

15x+21y=51.45. This means that 15 coffees and 21 donuts is 51.45.

Now since there are an equal number of coffees, we can subtract these equations.

(15x+21y=51.45)-(15x+20y=50.25) equals y=1.20 (a donut costs $1.20).

Plug the price of the donut into y to find x; 3x+4(1.20)=10.05. The value of x is 1.75. The price of a coffee is 1.75.

You can multiply 1.75 by 4 to find the price of 4 coffees and 1.20 by 6 to find the price of 6 donuts.

1.75*4 is 7.00 and 1.20*6 is 7.20.

You can add those to find the total price; 7.00+7.20=14.20.

mr yeo had 32litre of water.he used 3/8 of it to fill up a fish tank.he used 1/4 of the remaining water to water the plants. how
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
So, Mr Yeo has 32 litres of water to begin, by taking away the 3/8 (12 litres) you get 20 litres, dividing that by 4 gives you 5litres.

Your answer is then 5 Litres
