Hi there!

To find the perpendicular slope you need to flip the fraction and change the sign. So 1/2=2/1 and tge original slope was positive, so the slope is -2. Now you sub in the point (-7,-4) in for x and y in the formula y=mx+b and solve for b (sub in 2 for m as well)
Y=mx+b
-4=-2*-7+b
-4=14+b
-4-14=b
B=-18
The equation is y=-2x-18

Hope this helps!

Two pounds of grapes cost 6$ what number belongs in the most right empty cell?
sdas [7]

Answer:

Table shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

Table shown below

To solve this problem let's use proportions.

If 2 pounds of grapes cost $6, half the amount will cost half the dollars, so the last row will have $3 in the price

For the second row, we know the price is $1, that is, one-sixth of the original given price. It should correspond to one-sixth of the amount of grapes or 2/6 pounds.

Simplifying the fraction, we get 1/3 or 0.33 pounds

How does the Counting Principle help when determining the sample space for a probability distribution?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

This is also known as the Counting rule.

The Fundamental Counting Principle is used in determining all the possible outcomes and the total possible ways different events can be combined with each other. It is usually done by multiplying all the events together to get the total possible outcome. Doing this also helps in determining the sample space of a probability.

For example there are events a, b and c. The total sample space or possible outcome will be a*b*c.

Apples are sold in bags of four that cost $5, or bags of six that costs $7 per bag. What is the smallest cost at which you can b
babunello [35]
STEP 1:
BAGS OF FOUR
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples

= 74 ÷ 4 apples/bag
= 18.5 bags

*must round up to 19 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag

STEP 2:
BAGS OF FOUR
calculate price of 19 bags of 4 apples per bag

= 19 bags * $5/bag
= $95 for 19 bags of 4 apples/bag

STEP 3:
BAGS OF SIX
find number of bags needed to total 74 apples

= 74 ÷ 6 apples per bag
= 12.3333 bags needed

*must round up to 13 bags because we cannot buy a partial bag

STEP 4:
BAGS OF SIX

calculate price of 13 bags of 6 apples per bag

= 13 bags * $7 per bag
= $91 for 13 bags of 6 apples/bag


ANSWER: The smallest cost to buy 74 apples is $91.

Hope this helps! :)
