Answer: They should buy 12 pounds of City Roast and 8 pounds of French Roast.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the weight of City Roast colombian coffee.

Let y be the weight of French Roast Colombian coffee.

Weight of blend = 20 pounds

So, our equation becomes

x+y=20--------------(1)

Cost of per pound of City Roast = $7.80

Cost of per pound of French Roast = $8.10

Cost of blend = $7.92

So, our equation becomes,

7.80x+8.10x=7.92\times 20\\\\7.8x+8.1y=158.4--------(2)

From Eq(1), we get that

x=20-y

Put this in Eq(2), we get that

7.8(20-y)+8.10y=158.4\\\\156-7.8y+8.10y=158.4\\\\0.3y=158.4-156\\\\0.3y=2.4\\\\y=\dfrac{2.4}{0.3}\\\\y=8

x=20-y\\\\x=20-8\\\\x=12

Hence, they should buy 12 pounds of City Roast and 8 pounds of French Roast.

For the graph y = 1 find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it and the slope of a line parallel to it. Explain your an
Anon25 [30]

The slope of the parallel line is 0 and the slope of the perpendicular line is undefined

<h3>How to determine the slope?</h3>

The equation is given as:

y = 1

A linear equation is represented as:

y = mx + c

Where:

m represents the slope

By comparison, we have:

m = 0

The slope of the parallel line is:

Slope = m

This gives

Slope = 0

The slope of the perpendicular line is:

Slope =-1/m

This gives

Slope = -1/0

Slope = undefined

Hence, the slope of the parallel line is 0 and the slope of the perpendicular line is undefined
