Make 2 eqn, let a be apples and o be oranges:

1. 5a + 4o = 10
2. 5a + 5o = 11

set up an elimination:
1. minus 2.
5a + 4o = 10
- 5a + 5o = 11
____________
o = 1

sub “o” into one of the eqn

5a + 5(1) = 11
5a = 11-5
5a = 6
a = 6/5
a = 1.2

therefore, an orange costs $1.00 and an apple costs $1.20

Which equations below represent lines that are perpendicular to the line that contains (1, -2) and (3, 4)? (CHECK PICS FOR ANSWE
Gala2k [10]

First, let's find the slope of the line from the points given.

m = (4 - - 2) / (3 - 1)

m = 6 / 2

m = 3

Secondly, we know that a line perpendicular to the original must have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original. For the given points, the opposite reciprocal slope would be -1/3.

Now, we can put all of the equations below into slope intercept form and find the ones that have a slope of -1/3.

Equation 1: Correct

y = -1/3x - 5

Equation 2: Incorrect

y = 3x - 3

Equation 3: Incorrect

y - 2 = 3(x + 1)

y - 2 = 3x + 1

y = 3x + 2

Equation 4: Correct

x + 3y = 9

3y = -x + 9

y = -1/3x + 3

Equation 5: Incorrect

3x + y = -5

y = -3x - 5

Hope this helps!! :)
