To solve this, you’ll first need to solve for their slopes.

The slope for line Q is y2-y1/x2-x1 = -8-(-2)/-8-(-10) = -3

We know that the lines are perpendicular so the negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3

The equation you get it y = 1/3x + b.

Now you will need to solve for b by substituting in the first ordered pair of line R.

2 = 1/3(1) + b.

Once you solve for b, you should get 5/3 and y = 1/3x + 5/3

Now, to find a, you will need to substitute in 10 from the second ordered pair into x in your new equation.

y = 1/3(10) + 5/3.

Your solution should be 5.

So your answer is: a = 5

You are making a recipe that calls for cream of mushroom soup. There is a deal at the store, where you can buy 10 cans of soup f

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The cost of 6 cans of soup = $7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of 10 cans of soup = $13

The number of cans needed for the soup = 6

Now, Cost of 1 can of soup = $\frac{\textrm{Total cost of 10 cans of soup}}{\textrm{10}}$

= $13 / 10 =$1.3

⇒The cost of 1 can of soup is $1.3

Now, The cost of 6 cans of soup = 6 x Cost of 1 can

⇒ 6 x $1.3 = $7.8

Hence, the cost of 6 cans of soup = $7.8

The answer is a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>1. Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction</em>

To find the numerator, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator to it.

The denominator remains the same.

So, 2 $\frac{2}{3}$ will be $\frac{8}{3}$

<em>2. Now the equation is,</em>

$\frac{3}{2}$ a - $\frac{4}{3}$ a = $\frac{10}{3}$ + $\frac{8}{3}$ a

<em>3. Take LCM on both sides. </em>

For the left side, multiply the first fraction by $\frac{3}{3}$ and multiply the second fraction by $\frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{3*3}{2*3}$ a - $\frac{4*3}{3*3}$ a = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

<em>4. Solve by making a the subject</em>

$\frac{9a-8a}{6}$ = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

$\frac{a}{6}$ = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

$\frac{3a}{6}$ =10+8a

$\frac{a}{2}$ = 10 + 8a

a = 2(10 + 8a)

a = 20 + 16a

a-16a = 20

-15a = 20

a = $\frac{20}{-15}$

a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

Therefore, the answer is a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

Laura invests $2500 in one account and $1500 in an account paying 2 % higher interest. At the end of one year she had earned $11

Crank

Answer:

$2500 - 2%

$1500 - 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the interest for the $2500 is x, so the interest for the $1500 is x+0.02.

As an equation, they would look like this:

2500x+1500(x+0.02)=110

Now solve

2500+1500x+30=110

4000x=80

x=0.02

That means the interest for the $2500 is 0.02, or 2%, and the interest for the $1500 is 0.04, or 4%.
