Answer:

<h3>The answer is option C</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question

y = - 1/2x + 5

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope / m = -1/2

Since the lines are perpendicular to each other the slope of the other line is the negative inverse of the original line

That's

Slope of the perpendicular line = 2

Equation of the line using point (–1, –2) and slope 2 is

y + 2 = 2( x + 1)

y + 2 = 2x + 2

y = 2x + 2 - 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>y = 2x</h3>

Hope this helps you

A box contains 9 green balls, 16 red balls, 9 white balls, and 6 pink balls. What is the probability of drawing a pink ball out
Viefleur [7K]
This is an example of "classical probability". Whenever the probability of all events is the same, then the probability is calculated by dividing the number of "favorable events" of total events.

For this problem, the total number of events is the total number of balls, it is 40. The number of favorable events it the number of pink balls, it is 6.

So, the answer is 6/40, which can be written as 3/20.

Eli wanted to order candy online. Company A is offering 2 1/2 pounds of chocolate for $32.00. How much is Company A charging per
Komok [63]

Answer:

Therefore, Company B is offering the lowest price/lb at $12.73/lb.

So, Company A's price / lb = ($32.50/2.5lbs) = $13.00/lb

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine price per lb, divide dollar amount by lbs.

- Company A sells 2 1/2lbs (2.5lbs) for $32.50

- Company B sells 2 3/4lbs (2.75lbs) for $35.00

And, Company B's price / lb = ($35.00/2.75lbs) = $12.73/lb
