Samuel wants to use his earnings from Monday and Tuesday to buy some batteries

IrinaK [193]

Answer: There are 2 batteries which he can buy with his earnings .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of cans at the recycling center = $0.40 per pound

Number of pounds of cans he sold on Monday = 16.2

Number of pounds of cans he sold on Tuesday = 11.8

Total earning of Samuel is given by

$(16.2+11.8)\times 0.40=\$11.2$

Now, cost of battery =$5.60

So, number of batteries he can buy is given by

$\frac{\text{ Total earnings}}{\text{ Cost of each battery}}\\\\=\frac{11.2}{5.6}\\\\=2$

So, there are 2 batteries which he can buy with his earnings .

Find the equation of the line with slope m=1/4 that contains the point (4,5).

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: x - 4y = -16

Step-by-step explanation: Since we're given a point and a slope, we can write the equation of this line using the point-slope formula.

The given point, (4, 5), represents (x₁, y₁).

So if we plug all our given information into the formula,

including our slope of 1/4, we get y - 5 = 1/4(x - 4).

To put our equation in standard form, first, distribute

the 1/4 through the parentheses.

So we get y - 5 = 1/4x - 1.

Remember that standard form cannot have any fractions in it so our next step is to multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction.

That gives us 4y - 20 = x - 4.

Now moves the -20 to the right side by adding 20 to both sides.

So we get 4y = x + 16.

Now subtract x from both sides to get -x + 4y = 16.

Finally, our coefficient on our x term must be positive so we

divide both sides by -1 to get x - 4y = -16.
