Answer: 2y + 3x - 16 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line  is    y = 2x/3 - 5

From the equation , the slope m₁ = 2/3. therefore recall, from condition for perpendicularity, m₁m₂ = -1

The product of their gradient must be (-1).

Now since m₁ = 2/3 and m₁m₂ =-1

                          2m₂/3 = -1

Therefore , m₂ = -3/2.

Since the equation passes through the coordinate of (6,-1)

we now substitute for x and y in the equation of a line to get the y intercept (c)

  y = mx + c

  -1 = -3x/2 +c

  -1 = -3/2 x 6 + c

  -1 = -9 + c

  -1 + 9 = c

 Therefore c = 8

Now to get the equation of line that is perpendicular to y = 2x/3 - 5

 y = -3x/2 + 8

making it a linear equation,

 2y = -3x + 16

 2y +3x - 16 = 0

#2 and please provide explaination !
quester [9]

Answer:

Total overripe fruit = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Assume the value of oranges</em>

Let oranges be x

Oranges = x

Apples = 32 + x

Overripe oranges = 3/5 of oranges

                              = 3x/5

Overripe apples = 1/3 of apples

                           = 1/3 (32 + x)

<em>Step 2: Find x (oranges)</em>

<em>Number of overripe apples and number or overripe oranges are equal.</em>

3x/5 = 1/3 (32 + x)

3 (3x) = 5(32 + x)

9x = 160 + 5x

4x = 160

x = 40

<em>Step 3: Find the total number of overripe fruit.</em>

Total overripe fruit = Overripe apples + Overripe oranges

Total overripe fruit = 1/3 (32 + x) + 3x/5

Total overripe fruit = 1/3 (32 + 40) + 3(40)/5

Total overripe fruit = 24 + 24

Total overripe fruit = 48

How to Find the vertex of f(x)=-8x^2-8x+7
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: (1/2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola                     f(x) = 8x² - 8x + 7

                                     y = 8x² - 8x + 7

Vertical Parabola equation

( x - h)² = 4p (y - k)            Transform the original equation to this form

8x² - 8x       = y - 7            

8(x² - x  + (   )²)  = y - 7       Complete squares

8 (x² - x + (1/2)²) = y - 7 + 2    Simplification

8 (x² - x + 1/4) = y - 5

                                 (x - 1/2)² = 1/8 (y - 5)

Finally Vertex

                        (1/2 , 5)
