Answer:y = - 2x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line, represented in the slope-intercept form, is

y = mx + c

Where

Slope = m

c = intercept

Looking at the equation given,

y=1/2x + 8

Slope,m = 1/2

If a line is perpendicular to a another line, then the slope of one line is equal to the negative reciprocal of the other line. It means that the slope of the perpendicular line that passes through that passes through ( 4, 9 ) will be -2

To determine c,

We will substitute m = -2, y = 9 and x = 4 into the slope intercept equation,

y = mx + c. It becomes

9 = -2 × 4 + c

9 = -8 + c

c = 9 + 8 = 17

The equation becomes

y = - 2x + 17

The radius of an apple is 1.5in. what is the diaameter
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

To calculate the diameter of a circle, multiply the radius by 2. If you don't have the radius, divide the circumference of the circle by π to get the diameter. If you don't have the radius or the circumference, divide the area of the circle by π and then find that number's square root to get the radius.

Each of 6 students reported the number of movies they saw in the past year. This is what they reported: 14, 10, 20, 9, 12, 11 Fi
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Order the set of values

9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 20

<h2>Median:</h2>

Middle Value

n = number of values

if n is odd, the median is at position n/2

if n is even, the median is between position n/2 and n/2 + 1

n = 6

6 is even, so the median is between position 6/2 and 6/2 + 1

the median is between 11 and 12

(11 + 12)/2

23/2

11.5

<h2>Mean </h2>

9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 14 + 20 = 76/6

= 12.666...

= 12.7 to the nearest tenth.

THIS IS DUE TOMORROW<br>HELP​
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4) 35x + 28y =7*5*x + 7*4*y = 7(5x + 4y)

5) Cost of top = $9

Cost of 3 top = 9*3 = $27

Cost of skirt = $x

Cost of 3 skirt = 3x

Cost of 3 skirt and 3 top = 3x + 27

Cost of 2 skirt = 2x            (as she bought 5 skirts)

Cost of her purchase = Cost of 3skirt &3 top and 2skirt

= (3x + 27)  + 2x

= 5x +27

6) Cost of 5 nail polish bottle = 5p

   Cost of two lip gloss tube   = 2g

Cost of  one gift bag = 5p + 2g

Cost of 8 gift bag = 8* ( 5p + 2g)

                             =8*5p + 8*2g

                              = 40p + 16g
