Answer:

5x - 3y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = −9 can be solved for y (and thus for the slope explicitly):

5y = -3x - 9, or y = (-3/5)x - 9/5.  The slope of the given line is -3/5.  The slope of a line perpendicular to the given line is the negative reciprocal of this -3/5, which is 5/3.  Substituting 3 for x and 0 for y, our slope-intercept  equation y = mx + b becomes 0 = (5/3)(3) + b, which leads to b = -5:

y = (5/3)x - 5.  We must put this back into standard form, starting by multiplying all three terms by 3:

3y = 5x - 15, or -5x + 3y = -15.  This is equivalent to 5x - 3y = 15 (which is the last answer choice).

Jayla ate 75% of the jelly beans in the bag. If she ate 24 jelly beans how many were in the bag?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

32 jelly beans were in the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

We know 75% is 3/4 and that she ate 24, so divide 24 by 3 then multiply it by 4:

24/3= 8

8 x 4 = 32

Please help me!!!!!
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

y = - \frac{2}{5} (x - 5)² + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a quadratic in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k ) = (5, 7 ) , then

y = a(x - 5)² + 7

To find a substitute (10, - 3 ) into the equation

- 3 = a(10 - 5)² + 7 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

- 10 = 5²a = 25a ( divide both sides by 25 )

\frac{-10}{25} = a , that is

a = - \frac{2}{5}

y = - \frac{2}{5} (x - 5)² + 7 ← in vertex form
